Question 11148 — health professions

Summary

Mr. Maurice Leroy draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the concerns expressed by the 86,500 masseurs-physiotherapists in France about the future of their profession and the health safety of patients. Recent measures taken by the Government are causing concern within the profession. Thus, sports educators and non-professional volunteers are now authorized to provide services massage-physiotherapy as part of the management of a long-term assignment. Likewise, the decree of February 13, 2018 relating to chiropractic training recognizes 300 study credits from the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ETCS) for chiropractors. These credits validate their training equivalent to that of masseurs-physiotherapists, making the latter fear in particular the complexity of the care pathway for patients who might have difficulty differentiating the two professions. He therefore wishes to know what measures it intends to take to reassure these health professionals and the means put in place to guarantee the health safety of patients.
