Question 10144 — health professions

Summary

Mr. Eric Liégeon draws the attention of the Minister to the Minister of Labor, Health, Solidarity and Families, responsible for health and access to care, to the serious concerns expressed by employed and self-employed speech therapists about the future of their profession. Representatives of the profession denounce insufficient remuneration for salaried speech therapists, both in hospitals and in the medical-social sector. The low salaries offered hamper the attractiveness of the positions, which explains the numerous vacancies and threatens the continuity of care, particularly for the most fragile patients. Liberal speech therapists, for their part, question the increasingly constrained framework in which they work, with no prospect of advancement, while speech therapy needs are exploding with the aging of the population. population (stroke, chronic diseases) and increasingly numerous neurodevelopmental disorders as well as the burdens weighing on their practices. Speech therapists mobilized massively on September 18, 2025 on the occasion of the national day of mobilization to defend access to care and the sustainability of their profession. They are demanding salary increases for employed speech therapists in order to allow necessary recruitment in hospital or medico-social establishments and the continuation of conventional upgrades for speech therapists established in private practice, in particular an upgrade of assessments and the recognition of speech therapy as a primary healthcare profession through the generalization of direct access. These measures are essential to ensure the future of the profession and for care quality of patients throughout the territory. The possible questioning of the reimbursement of speech therapy care for children followed in medical-psychological centers is also a matter of concern. Consequently, he asks what the Government's intentions are to improve the status of speech therapists and the attractiveness of the profession and where the negotiations are with the profession so that, on the various points mentioned, concrete progress will be announced soon.
