(Montreal) Jean Charest made the nurses court yesterday with a promise of bonuses for those who choose this career and those who agree to extend it.
Visiting flag of Nursing at the University of Montreal yesterday, Liberal leader said he was sensitive to the plight of nurses, often overcrowded and forced to work overtime. "We want to lighten their burden by attracting more nurses, to improve the daily lives and we want to encourage those at the end of their careers to stay and practice, "said Charest, often criticized for its stock of government in health.
The Liberal leader wants to attract more nurses into the network, and ensure that those who are still a little longer.
He promised an annual premium of $ 3,000 for nurses and technicians and Bachelor of $ 2,000 for nursing assistants during the first three years of their careers. No grandfather clause, ie those that are currently taking their first steps in the profession will not benefit.
For the more experienced -35 years of service and over - the Liberals do shine a check for $ 8,000 for each additional year of work, to a maximum of two years.
The Liberal leader is also to ensure that the proportion of posts full-time nurses in the public network from 45 to 60%, with the benefits that entails.
In total, these incentives for nurses are estimated at $ 66 million annually.
Charest government would also increase the number of family medicine groups (GMF) from 178 to 300. An investment of $ 61 million. When a group of general practitioners is formed, it provides Quebec nurses and computer resources. Doctors can offload some tasks, and see more patients.
The Liberals also want the proportion of GPs increases, and intends to impose a mandatory course in family medicine in the first year. "If it brings them into contact earlier with family medicine, if they offer the experience of being a general practitioner, it was more likely to make this choice there," said Jean Charest.
