94Lits de pédopsychiatrie fermés à la Fondation Vallée à Gentilly : « un scandale sanitaire bien orchestré » selon la CGT30 min 20.02.2026

The Fondation Vallée in Gentilly, Val-de-Marne, is facing the suspension of four child psychiatry units, totaling approximately 60 out of 84 beds, following an emergency decision by the Regional Health Agency (ARS). This action stems from L'Express revelations of alleged illegal confinement practices for minor patients, which the staff vehemently denies. The CGT union has labeled the situation a "well-orchestrated health scandal," criticizing the ARS's urgent decision and the potential negative impact on the 15 remaining children, who risk being without adequate care due to a saturated medico-social sector. The ARS states that continuity of care will be ensured and a new medical project is expected by June, with a potential reopening of beds in September, though the exact number remains uncertain. Staff are concerned about redeployment to adult psychiatry and the potential for psychosocial risks.
