Question 12450 — health professions

Summary

Mr. Pierre Cordier draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the concerns of orthopedists-orthotists regarding a draft decree which would allow employees providing medical equipment to be authorized to issue devices despite the absence of a diploma and even though they would only follow training for a few hours. The law currently in force requires training of 2,300 hours sanctioned by a diploma to practice the profession of orthopedist-orthotist allowing the delivery of standard and custom-made devices. Their scope of competence is governed by the public health code. This draft decree, if it were successful, would have numerous negative consequences: endangering patients through an inability to provide comprehensive care, endangering the profession of orthopedist-orthotist and its economy, putting danger of the schools which train these health professionals according to the rules of the art, on the basis of a reference system registered in the National Directory of Professional Certifications (RNCP) level III, without forgetting the impact on the social security budget, due to misuse and undesirable side effects, linked to poor management or poor delivery of the equipment. He therefore wishes to know the intentions on Government in this matter.
