PARIS: French Health Minister Olivier Veran said on Sunday he wanted to unveil by summer a new support plan for French hospitals and health workers who have been on the front line of the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.
In an interview with French Sunday weekly Le Journal Du Dimanche , Veran said consultations with social partners and health representatives would start from May 25."I want to go fast. I want the plan to be presented this summer, to include everything that can be presented in the next Social Security budget," he said.
The new plan would increase the wages of health workers beyond recent bonuses awarded during the coronavirus crisis, he said.Advertisement The plan will also involve a reorganisation of investments and create a more flexible working time framework. "If hospital staff want to work more and increase their wages, it must be possible. For that we must review the organisation of working time in hospitals," he said.
