Question 1413 — dependence

Summary

Mr. Auguste Evrard questions the Minister of Health and Access to Care about the worrying situation of family caregivers. According to the BVA/Collectif Je t'Aide barometer, it is estimated that in 2024, 25% of French people would be caregivers. In other words, millions of people, often family members or loved ones, devote a large part of their time to supporting and caring for their loved ones in a dependent situation, disabled, or suffering from chronic illnesses. Family caregivers play an essential role in the daily support of people in situations of dependency, in a context of an aging population and the progression of chronic diseases. They often take on this responsibility without appropriate training or sufficient financial support, to the detriment of their own physical and mental health. This role, often invisible, constitutes yet a pillar of the solidarity system. But aid has a cost on employment, finances, social life, health and pensions. However, despite recent legislative advances, notably the recognition of carer status and the establishment of carer's leave, many of them believe that existing systems are insufficient. They denounce the lack of respite measures, the cumbersome procedures administrative requirements to access aid, as well as the insufficiency of compensation provided for within the framework of specific leave. In this context, he would like to know the measures that the Government plans to implement to adjust the 2023-2027 national strategy for mobilization and support for caregivers, in order to improve their recognition, their well-being and the support necessary for the exercise of their public utility mission.
