In these times of resuscitation services saturated by the Covid-19, the announcement is not trivial.
The Minister of Health Olivier Véran promised on Tuesday “an increase of around a thousand beds” in resuscitation and critical care capacities in hospitals, following the proposals of the General Inspectorate of Social Affairs (Igas), but without specifying to what deadline.
Recalling that he himself had “directed the Igas”, the Minister presented a report from this service to the National Assembly.
If the document has not been made public, Le Monde had reported in December a “maximalist estimate” of “1,000 additional intensive care beds by 2030”.
The Minister has therefore decided to follow the recommendation of his administration.
“We will send the decree to the Council of State by the end of February, which will see an increase of around a thousand resuscitation and critical care beds throughout the territory”, he added without specifying. at what deadline.
This will correspond to “a 20% increase in the resuscitation park”, he underlined, implicitly based on the approximately 5,100 beds open before Covid-19 – a floor since raised to 5,800 according to the ministry.
Carrying out this increase, "the largest in our entire history", will require "recruiting, training, promoting, which we have been doing for two years", he insisted, after praising the salary increases. from the “Ségur de la santé”, supplemented since January by a bonus of 100 euros net for resuscitation and critical care nurses – another recommendation from Igas.
