Representatives of the Ministry of Health and the Medical Strike Committee will meet again on Mondayin the midst of the conflict raised by the draft Framework Statute Act and before the week of stoppages called for June by the medical unions that make up the committee.
According to the Commission, the meeting will take place at the request of the Director-General for Professional Management, who has reiterated his intention to attend "as many meetings as necessary, provided there is a real will to change".
However, it has announced that these meetings will "hardly" change the schedule of mobilizations set and will maintain, for the time being, the strike called for between 15 and 19 June.
Moreover, it considers that "there is not much room for a solution tothe conflict ", since the Ministry has continued to process the draft statute signed with the trade unions represented in the negotiating field (Satse-FSES, FSS-CCOO, UGT and CSIF) and has requested that progress be made in the process without any changes to the agreed text.
The Commission therefore supports the decision of professionals who have decided to suspend the extraordinary and voluntary activity of their services until the current situation is resolved.
