Question 12417 — diseases

Summary

Mr. Patrick Hetzel questions the Minister of Solidarity and Health about the coverage of treatments linked to Alzheimer's disease. Indeed, since August 1, 2018, medications prescribed for Alzheimer's disease are no longer covered by health insurance. This decision arouses strong emotion and major incomprehension among patients and their loved ones. Since the official announcement by his ministry, millions of Families affected by the disease are mobilizing to denounce this measure. The largest learned societies, and France-Alzheimer and related diseases have even filed an appeal before the Council of State. France has 1.1 million people living with this disease and this figure could rise to 2 million in 2040. The management of this pathology is therefore a major public health and solidarity issue. He therefore wishes know what the Government intends to do in order to find real solutions to effectively help patients and their families.
