Immediate measures to improve working conditions in the Brigittenau trauma center are required
Vienna (OTS) – In view of the recently published reports about the outsourcing of operations from the Brigittenau trauma center and the resulting grievances, FPÖ Vienna health spokesman LAbg. Wolfgang Seidl is calling for urgently needed measures to improve the situation.
“The decision to outsource operations for fire safety reasons has placed enormous pressure on staff. What is particularly alarming is the announcement that every second double-staffed night shift will be canceled in May for reasons of economy. This is absolutely unacceptable and endangers not only the health of patients, but also the well-being of our medical staff,” said Seidl.
The Freedom Party underlines the need for AUVA to reconsider plans to reduce night shifts and ensure that working conditions are in line with the high demands of medical care. “We call on AUVA to take immediate action to increase capacity and staffing at all outsourced locations. It must be ensured that every postponement and outsourcing of operations is carried out in compliance with the highest medical standards,” adds Seidl and at the same time reminds Vienna City Councilor for Health Hacker that sensible cooperation with the AUVA is essential.
In addition, he calls for the establishment of an independent review commission and the involvement of the City of Vienna, which should evaluate the decisions and measures of the AUVA with regard to the outsourcing of operations and the associated rosters.
“It is essential that we maintain our healthcare facilities as safe and efficient workplaces that provide a refuge for both patients and staff. Protecting and promoting the health of our citizens must always be the top priority,” concludes Seidl.
