Question 11127 — pharmacy and medications

Summary

Mr. Damien Abad draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the need to guarantee equal access to medicines throughout the country and for all French people. Indeed, in a recent report, the Court of Auditors recommends the elimination of just over 10,400 pharmacies, or one in two. This recommendation would have very harmful consequences for our fellow citizens, particularly those who reside in rural areas which would be directly impacted. While medical deserts are developing with the poor distribution of general practitioners and specialist doctors in our territory, the reduction in the number of pharmacies would worsen the inequality in access to care. Pharmacists play a very important advisory role in addition to dispensing medications. Pharmacies also provide a network of proximity throughout the territory and generates a formidable network of non-relocatable jobs. He also wishes to know the measures that the Government intends to take following these recommendations from the Court of Auditors.
