# French healthcare workers and relatives of colleagues who killed themselves have filed a legal complaint against two ministers over “deadly working conditions” in public hospitals they say are causing suicides. France’s public hospitals have been forced to drastically slash spending in recent decades, and doctors and nurses have long complained of insufficient staffing and low pay. Nineteen plaintiffs have now accused Health Minister Catherine Vautrin and Higher Education Minister Elisabeth Borne of allowing “totally illegal and deadly working conditions” for workers and staff in training at public hospitals across France.
