Question 11030 — medicine

Summary

Mr. Pierrick Courbon draws the attention of the Minister of Health, Families, Autonomy and People with Disabilities to the consequences of the price reductions planned for medical imaging, within the framework of article 41 of the social security financing law for 2025. Decided without consultation with professionals in the sector, this measure, which aims to achieve 300 million euros in savings over the next two years, causes deep concern in the profession. In many territories, these price reductions risk lastingly weakening local imaging structures, compromising the continuity of care provision and reducing patient access to examinations essential for early detection and monitoring of serious pathologies. Health professionals warn of the risk of having to restrict imaging procedures to the most urgent situations, which could lead to delays in diagnosis, a worsening of the state of health of patients and thus, ultimately, an increase in the overall cost for health insurance. The postponement of these medical procedures to already saturated hospital services also risks worsening the situation of public hospitals. This provision also slows down innovation, particularly in the development of intelligence artificial adapted to this sector. While the organizations representing the profession had proposed a savings plan, in particular by improving the relevance of prescriptions or integrating examinations directly into the medical file using the DRIMBOX tool, discussions with the national health insurance fund were unsuccessful. In view of these elements which affect a profession already suffering a loss attractiveness, a postponement of these price reductions applied since October 1, 2025 seems necessary to initiate real consultation with professionals in the sector. Thus, he asks what the Government's intentions are to re-establish a constructive dialogue with representatives of the profession and thus guarantee the sustainability of the provision of medical imaging care throughout the territory.
