Question 12452 — health professions

Summary

Ms. Sabine Rubin alerts the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the concern of orthopedists-orthotists with regard to a future plan to publish a decree, according to which employees providing medical equipment could be authorized to issue devices despite the absence of a diploma and while they would only follow training for a few hours. The law currently in force requires training of 2,300 hours certified by a diploma to practice the profession of orthopedist-orthotist and to deliver standard and custom-made devices. Their scope of competence is governed by the public health code. If this project were to succeed, it would risk disrupting the profession of orthopedist-orthotist and the implementation of this text would have numerous consequences: endangering patients through an inability to provide comprehensive care, the endangerment of the profession of orthopedist-orthotist and its economy, the endangerment of the schools which train these health professionals according to the rules of the art, on the basis of a framework 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 care or poor delivery of the equipment. She also wishes to know the Government's position on this subject, in particular to guarantee a safety situation for patients.
