Question 10876 — health professions

Summary

Mr. Thomas Rudigoz draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the recognition of the skills of masseurs-physiotherapists. Their profession fears, within the framework of the rationalization of the healthcare system, certain decisions which could modify the overall context of their profession. On the one hand, they deplore the publication of the decree of November 3, 2017 transposing European directive 2013/55/EU authorizing partial access to health professions. This compliance with European law creates the possibility for European practitioners who do not have the title of physiotherapist to carry out rehabilitation procedures. On the other hand, they are asking for better supervision of their profession, in particular recognition of their level of studies, like chiropractors for whom a decree and an order were published on February 13, 2018, endorsing the quality of chiropractic practice by integrating training and a professional framework. On this point, they criticize the encroachment of chiropractors in the field of functional rehabilitation, even though they are not health professionals. The patient's care pathway deserves to be clarified by expressly distinguishing the skills of masseurs-physiotherapists, osteopaths and chiropractors. For example, to which professional will a general practitioner refer a patient suffering from low back pain? He therefore asks him to please explain the measures envisaged by the Government to respond to the demands of masseurs-physiotherapists.
