Question 11829 — health

Summary

Mr. Christian Girard draws the attention of the Minister of Health, Families, Autonomy and Disabled People to the lack of transparency regarding the origin of manufacturing of dental prostheses reimbursed by national solidarity. It is reported that many prostheses financed by social security and mutual funds are in reality manufactured abroad (China, Madagascar, India, Turkey, etc.), but are presented as French through an interpretation of the principle of added value. The mandatory traceability sheet, as it is currently written, does not specify the real origin of manufacturing, thus depriving the patient of essential information on the origin of their medical device. This practice, which is similar to a usurpation of made in France, creates unfair competition for laboratories. French who have invested in new technologies. These imports without clear traceability also result in a significant loss of tax revenue, in particular VAT not collected on imported prostheses, estimated at nearly 100 million euros. He therefore asks what measures the Government intends to take to guarantee that the actual country of manufacture of the prostheses is clearly mentioned on the form. of traceability given to the patient and would also like to know the measures envisaged to protect French laboratories in the face of this competition.
