Question 11827 — health

Summary

Mr. Hubert Brigand draws the attention of the Minister of Health, Families, Autonomy and People with Disabilities to the alarming situation that the specialty of dermatology is currently experiencing in France. Indeed, many practitioners have launched a national petition to alert public authorities to the dermatological demographic in crisis and to request an increase in the number of trained dermatologists. The numbers are indisputable and testify to a worrying evolution of the profession: 22% of dermatologists have disappeared in 10 years, 50% of practicing dermatologists are over 60 years old, including 17% already in employment-retirement and current projections predict a 30% reduction in the number of dermatologists by 2030. These data are not far-sighted but describe an imminent reality for millions of French people. This This situation jeopardizes access to dermatological care for a large part of the population, whether in urban or rural areas, and has serious consequences for the rapid treatment of skin pathologies. The most obvious signs of this crisis are the inability of practices to accept urgent patients, saturated secretariats and queues far beyond the capacities of specialists. Many patients, particularly those requiring a rapid consultation, are no longer able to obtain an appointment. Consequently, he asks him to indicate when the Government intends to take urgent measures to increase training capacities in dermatology, to respond to the imminent shortage of practitioners and to encourage the dissemination of the national petition launched by professionals in the sector, in support of this initiative aimed at raising awareness of the urgency of the situation.
