In December, Die city council rejected the choice of the former municipal team to set up the future hospital in the district of Chamarges at the entrance to the city. It is indeed the Chanqueyras site that was selected. The choice was immediately validated by the management of the hospital center despite the reluctance.
Representatives of hospitals and users fear that it is not possible on this land to build a heliport. “That’s what made the Supervisory Board voted against. This being so, a little in soul and conscience, _we decided to accept despite everything_, because we consider that the situation demands that we rise to the challenge” exposes the director of the Die hospital center, also director of the hospitals of Valence, Crest and Tournon.
No, this choice is not that of the hospital, nor of its professionals – a leaflet from the CFDT of the hospital of Die
“To make this hospital, in any case, it will be necessary to carry out urban planning procedures. So it is absolutely essential that this project be co-supported both by the hospital, which is the real legal bearer of the project, and by the communities which are the decision-makers. in terms of town planning” adds Freddy Serveaux. Even if he does not hide his preference – like that of the hospital teams – of a field further west of the city, easier to access and more direct to reach Valencia. Of which act.
The management validates the site to move the project forward, but also to obtain the envelope promised by the State within the framework of the Ségur de la Santé. 15 million euros are provided for the reconstruction of the hospital ; however, the project had to be validated in mid-December to be able to benefit from it. _“We cannot miss this funding_, essential for Diois” admits Freddy Serveaux. The whole project – the reconstruction of the hospital but also that of the Ehpad des Fleurs – represents more than 20 million euros of investment.
This conclusion comes after months of controversy over the location of the future hospital. Already, local residents are in the process of creating an association to file an appeal against the project.
