• The Minister of Health affirms that patients will be well taken care of despite the new filtering device which must last beyond the summer because of the emergency crisis, and more generally of the hospital.

  • The purpose of this filtering of patients is to provide better care for patients, explained François Braun.

  • To discuss the lack of nursing staff, François Braun will bring together representatives of liberal and hospital doctors “together” next week.

François Braun wants to reassure the French.

Despite a filtering system set up in the hospital emergency room to compensate for a lack of nursing staff, all patients will be well taken care of.

“There will be no non-support.

There have been many false things that have been said (…).

People will be taken care of.

Either by phoning the Samu beforehand, this is what we recommend since this will make it possible to direct people towards appropriate care.

When they go to the emergency room, they will be seen by paramedics who will be able to guide them, ”said the Minister of Health, interviewed on France Inter on Friday.

François Braun (@fbraun55): "The French will understand that when you have angina, it is better to go see your general practitioner rather than the emergency room, to avoid overloading our services, and that people who really need it can go there. to access."

"If it is a case that requires treatment, we have our mobile resuscitation teams who will take care of them at the door of the hospital to treat them and bring them to the hospital", continued the minister. , which will bring together the directors of the Regional Health Agencies (ARS) during the day.

Towards filtering beyond summer

Believing that the French “will understand”, the minister also explains that “this filtering is in fact an objective of better taking care of patients, in a sector which is more adapted to their condition”.

For their part, the emergency services are sounding the alarm over the lack of personnel and resources as the seventh wave of Covid-19 sweeps across the country.

And this system could last beyond the summer, according to François Braun: “All the measures are accompanied by an evaluation of their effectiveness during the three summer months.

We will be required to verify the effectiveness of these measures.

Indeed, if they work, if it works, we will extend them”.

To discuss the lack of nursing staff, François Braun will bring together representatives of liberal and hospital doctors “together” next week.

“We have to stop thinking in silos.

The hospital on one side, the city on the other”.

He said he was opposed to the obligation of installation of doctors, believing that "it does not work, when we look at how it works in other countries which have tested it".
