Restructuring events
European Restructuring Monitor (ERM)
The restructuring events database contains factsheets with data on large-scale restructuring events reported in the principal national media and company websites in each EU Member State. This database was created in 2002.
The Centre-Val de Loire Region has announced the recruitment of 150 doctors between now and 2025, as part of a structure - a Public Interest Grouping (GIP) - responsible for recruiting salaried doctors who will be assigned to health centres in various towns in the region. The aim is to combat 'medical deserts' in rural areas. The salaries of the doctors hired by the GIP will range from €5,000 to €8,950 gross, depending on seniority (which corresponds to the scale for the hospital civil service); the GIP will pocket the cost of the consultations (€25 according to the Social Security's agreed rates), which will eventually make it possible to achieve financial equilibrium. The installation of the first doctors is scheduled for the beginning of 2021, and the contracts for the communes of Jargeau and Beauce-la-Romaine will be signed before the 2020.
