INTERVIEW
On the night of Sunday to Monday, Parliament adopted the bill on the extension of the health pass in France for professions subject to compulsory vaccination against Covid-19, such as caregivers, there will ultimately be no dismissal for people who do not respect the obligation but still a suspension of salary.
"This measure is catastrophic for the attractiveness of our careers and that, the government does not measure", annoys Olivier Youinou, nurse anesthetist and co-secretary general of the South Health union of the AP-HP (Assistance public-Hospitals of Paris), Monday, on Europe 1.

"We have already been latent understaffed for years ..."
"It is enough to come to our hospitals to see that this is really not the solution", still storms the caregiver on Europe 1. "We are already latent understaffed for years ..." For Olivier Youinou, this additional constraint is wrong because "the question, in our establishments, is already the attractiveness and loyalty of our staff. Our careers are not engaging, not building loyalty ... There was also a consensus among the population to say that we were underpaid, under-revalued, under-recognized in relation to the general interest mission which is ours ", adds the caregiver.
According to this nurse anesthetist, the measure is all the more penalizing as the hospital is already under great stress. "As recently as this morning, I have a colleague who was moved from her department because there was a lack of staff in another", illustrates the trade unionist. "Disorganization is already a daily occurrence in our establishments."
