Question 12625 — medicine

Summary

Mr. Bartolomé Lenoir draws the attention of the Minister of Health, Families, Autonomy and People with Disabilities to the particularly low number of junior doctors expected in the Creuse department from November 2026. While initial projections indicated the possible arrival of up to ten junior doctors, it now appears that only six junior doctors would be assigned to Creuse for this due date. This downward revision is causing concern in a region where medical shortages are a recurring problem. However, junior doctors, at the end of their university course, can practice independently, while being placed under the supervision of a senior doctor. In the Creuse department, fourteen general practitioners volunteered to act as internship supervisors, which demonstrates a reception capacity greater than the number of junior doctors announced. Welcoming junior doctors constitutes an essential lever to combat medical desertification, by offering them a first professional experience in a rural environment and increasing their chances of settling there permanently. Not fully utilizing this supervisory capacity represents a missed opportunity for access to care for the Creuse population. Also, he asks him to please specify the reasons for the low number of junior doctors assigned to Creuse, to indicate the criteria used for their territorial distribution and to specify what measures the Government intends to take in order to allow rural departments like Creuse to fully benefit from this system.
