Christian Saout will leave the presidency of the Interassociative Collective on Health (Ciss), which brings together the most important patient associations, at the end of the year. A position he has held since 2007. He explains his decision on two grounds. “My function of full-time administrative magistrate, becomes incompatible with my associative commitment”, and “the absence of political measures in favor of users of the health system” requires the CISS to modernize and change governance, according to him. Last week, the Ciss also strongly deplored that its proposal to create a fund to finance the representation of users was not included in the bill for the financing of social security (PLFSS) for 2013.
