Question 14181 — people with disabilities

Summary

Ms. Cécile Untermaier draws the attention of Ms. Keeper of the Seals, Minister of Justice, to the cost of the detailed medical certificate, necessary for the implementation of measures to protect adults. Article 431 of the Civil Code provides that a measure of protection may only be imposed for the benefit of an adult on the basis of a medical certificate stating the impairment of the person's faculties and drawn up by a doctor chosen from a list established by the public prosecutor. This certificate, which costs 160 euros, is not covered by health insurance and therefore remains the responsibility of the protected person. This high sum may represent an obstacle to the opening of a protection measure, however necessary. This cost does not find its justification in a more in-depth medical examination than that which the doctor regularly carries out. treating. For families of very severely disabled children, this expense represents an obligatory expense when the child reaches the age of majority and, in many cases, is unnecessary, as the child's condition has been well known to the medical world for many years. Also, she asks him to kindly indicate what measures the Government intends, if necessary, to put in place to limit such expenditure, for example by resorting to a approved doctor, at the rate proposed by health insurance or by limiting the role of the expert to contentious situations.
