While this service should remain open all year, the emergency department of the Saint-Vallier hospital in northern Drôme will be closed for three weeks in August. The reason: replacement doctors have not been found, according to the director of Drôme Nord Hospitals.
"Interim doctors are boycotting more or less public hospitals, considering that their level of compensation now capped is not enough," explained Jean-Pierre Coulier, in a video interview at Dauphine Libere aired Friday, July 27th. "It's a problem of medical demography" and the "closing is transitory", wants to rebadure the director. The Saint-Vallier emergencies were already closed at night in July, for the same reasons. During the complete closure of the service in August, the vital emergencies will be supported by the 15, the others by the emergencies of Romans-sur-Isère, the other site of the Drôme Nord Hospitals.

Created at the end of March, the National Union of Substitute Physicians (SNMRH) called the interim workers to "boycott" the public hospitals this summer contesting the ceiling of their salaries to 1.404,05 euros gross for a guard 24 hours from this year.
