Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne announced on Thursday August 31 a series of salary increases for the benefit of caregivers in the hospital, in particular for night work and on Sundays, at a total cost of more than one billion euros.
These increases announced to the press during a trip to Rouen are intended to respond to the crisis that the hospital system is going through, faced with a shortage of caregivers.
25% surcharge
Of these 1.1 billion, 600 million correspond to revaluations already announced but which are “perpetuated” and 500 million relate to new measures, which will be included in the Social Security financing bill (PLFSS) 2024, according to Matignon.
As part of this bill, the government will therefore, as of January “increase the remuneration of nursing auxiliaries and nurses by 25%”she said, adding that it represented “Additional €300 per month” for a mid-career nurse.
“We will also increase the allowance for Sunday work by 20%” for non-medical professionals, she added.
As for doctors, “We are going to make the 50% increase in on-call duty that we had experienced since last summer permanent and it will extend to all doctors, both public and private”continued the Prime Minister.
In addition, the government promises “to speed up” on other topics such as “quality of life at work”the “conciliation with the constraints of personal life, for example childcare issues”she added.
“Recruit caregivers”
“Access to care is one of the main concerns of the French” and one of the issues “It is to be able to recruit caregivers in our hospitals”said Elisabeth Borne.
“It is obviously a difficult job where there are many constraints, night work, Sundays, public holidays, and we must recognize, as the President of the Republic had undertaken to do, these particular constraints”she continued.
