- Olivier Véran, the Minister of Health, spoke after the Council of Ministers. He confirmed that a concertation would take place from Monday.
- If the conclusions of this consultation will not be known before mid-July, he has already indicated an increase in the salaries of caregivers.
- During this speech, he also suggested that the 35 hours could be relaxed in the hospital.
The Olympic Games have been postponed. But Olivier Véran still hopes to go "faster" and "stronger" in favor of nursing staff. The Minister of Health came briefly to speak to the press at the end of the Council of Ministers devoted, again this Wednesday, to the fight against the epidemic of coronavirus. 20 Minutes lists the main announcements to remember.
Ségur de la santé's conclusions no later than mid-July
A horizon and a course. The "Ségur de la santé" (named after the avenue where the ministry is located) will start well on Monday 25 May. The former director of the CFDT, Nicole Notat, should play a role in holding "national exchanges" with all the social partners, said Olivier Véran.
"By mid-July at the latest, we will draw the conclusions from these consultations with healthcare professionals," continued Olivier Véran, to provide adjusted responses and build a stronger and more resilient system.

Higher wages in hospitals and nursing homes
He introduced himself as a doctor before specifying that he was also a minister. And Olivier Véran recalled that he had occupied almost all functions in the health field. From the internal position to that of head of clinic.
"The caregivers' message has been heard," he said, announcing "higher wages at the hospital and nursing home." To be clear, he insisted that the health system was going to experience "a revival". Before that, the minister had made, like the President of the Republic, a kind of mea-culpa on hospital reform, indicating that the government had been "neither fast enough nor strong enough" on this subject.

No new coronavirus card until the next deconfinement step
In red or green? Asked by a journalist who asked him if the Ile-de-France and the Grand-Est region were going to "go back to green", Olivier Véran indicated that it "would not make sense" to publish a new map of the epidemic today.
It will therefore be necessary to wait for the next stage of deconfinement to know if the situation will change compared to today.

Towards a relaxation of the 35 hours in the hospital?
The consultation will not start until Monday and it will therefore be necessary to wait before knowing more. However, the minister suggested that there could be an easing of 35-hour hours in the hospital. When talking about the increase in wages, he also explained that improving the situation would go through “a questioning of certain shackles that prevent those who wish to work more, sometimes differently. "
Latest information, the minister did not mention the medal promised to caregivers and which has been controversial for a few days.
