Maternity of the white: the justice rejects the cancellation of the summer closure

Deception for the mayor of the white Annick Gombert and the defenders of the maternity of the White. This Thursday, July 19, the Administrative Court of Limoges rejected the request for cancellation of summary of the summer closure of the service.

Annick Gombert considers that the argument put forward by the management of the lack of personnel aims to justify, ultimately, a definitive closure.

A difficult case to defend

Jean-Michel Mols, the chairman of the support committee, reacted to this decision.

" The municipality did what it was necessary to do because it must defend the needs of its citizens But it was unfortunately not likely that this approach would end the fight against administrative decisions is always very difficult. "

Another point, however, saddened him: "Our lawyer, on the day of the hearing, told us that he was very surprised at the aggressiveness of the management representatives and from the hospital center of Châteauroux (the two entities signed a merger protocol in 2016) I find that a bit of a shame: we are fighting for the maintenance of a public service. It's for me the real negative point of this file. "

Positive, however, according to him: the judgment has the merit of stating that the closure of the maternity of the White is supposed to be temporary.
