At the time of preparing the draft law for financing social security (PLFSS) 2018, the Federation Hospitalière de France (FHF) wants to make its voice heard. During its press conference back-to-school, the institution was reminded that the public hospitals to engage in major reforms, including the establishment of the Groups in hospital territory (GHT), which aims to make an appropriate response to the health needs of the territories. An effort is wanted and agreed upon, but which must be accompanied by the authorities, claims the FHF.

“The GHT is a complete paradigm shift in our health care system, which until then, was very uniform in the 4 corners of the country, said Frédéric Valletoux, president of the FHF. With this reform, the hospital sector shows that it knows how to adapt “.

But this evolution is not always smooth. “We never wanted to integrate with the forced march, and plead for more flexibility “, he explained, adding that it was time to let autonomy to the institutions. References to the regional agency of health (ARS), the FHF believes ” that they no longer have the vocation to intervene in the daily management of groups “. “The ARS must lose weight “, let go of Frédéric Valletoux.

Cooperate with the doctors of city

FHF wishes, moreover, to spend “time 2” GHT by inviting around the table private clinics and physicians. A necessary step to address the issue of medical deserts.

In a letter addressed to the minister of Health, Agnes Buzyn, Frédéric Valletoux also proposes to prohibit the installation of the liberal physicians in sector 2 in the areas that are already surdotées, but while preserving the freedom of installation of the practitioners in sector 1. Objective : to better meet the needs of the territories.

And if the medicine of city still can not meet the needs of patients, FHF suggests that the hospitals of the vicinity come in reinforcement. Some initiatives have already been implemented in some municipalities such as in Grigny (91). The town hall has made available of the premises and the sud-francilien hospital sent two doctors.
