Question 13793 — health professions

Summary

Mrs. Manon Bouquin draws the attention of the Minister of Health, Families, Autonomy and People with Disabilities to the place of the profession of dietitian as a major player in the prevention of health risks linked to nutrition. The High Council for Public Health raises nutritional issues to the rank of major issue, in particular with the National Nutrition and Health Program, revised in 2025. Indeed, many diseases arise from dietary factors, such as diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular diseases. These pathologies can be prevented through monitoring by nutritionists and dietitians. However, the reality on the ground is quite different: the French territory had only 2,092 nutritionist doctors in 2022, which is insufficient to allow people requiring dietary monitoring to attend. access, due to their low number and geographical distribution. It is in this context that the work of dietitians appears essential for public health. However, dietitians are not recognized as health care players in their own right, which does not allow them to offer consultations covered by health insurance. This situation forces citizens to resort to it little, if at all, for economic reasons. However, numbering 17,369, dietitians could provide considerable support in the fight against nutrition-related diseases, in addition to doctors. She would like to know whether any development prospects are being considered, particularly in terms of integrating or experimenting with the reimbursement of dietetic consultations, in order to strengthen the prevention of these diseases.
