Question 10761 — pharmacy and medications

Summary

Ms. Tiffany Joncour draws the attention of the Minister of Health, Families, Autonomy and People with Disabilities to the consequences of reducing the ceiling on discounts granted to pharmacists on generic medicines. Indeed, the economic committee for health products (CEPS) must examine, following the social security financing law, a further reduction in the price of generic medicines by up to 200 million euros. This decision, which is added to a previous reduction of 100 million euros, directly threatens the economic balance of the pharmacy network. It weakens the viability of local pharmacies, essential to access to care, particularly in rural and peri-urban areas. Organizations representing the profession are warning of the concrete consequences of such a measure: closure of numerous pharmacies, weakening of the territorial network and risks of shortages of vital medicines, in particular treatments against diabetes, hypertension and even psychotropic medicines. The MP, present during the mobilization of pharmacists, was able to see the depth of their concern and the seriousness of the situation for the future of the profession. In this context, she would like to know what provisions the The Government intends to take steps to guarantee the sustainability of the network of local pharmacies, avoid massive closures and ensure access for all citizens to essential generic medicines.
