Question 14359 — health

Summary

Ms. Mathilde Paris draws the attention of the Minister of Health and Prevention to the worrying situation of psychiatry in the Loiret department. Indeed, the MP was alerted by the Public Mental Health Establishment (EPSM) of Loiret, the largest specialized mental health establishment in the department with 17,500 patients, about the worrying situation for public psychiatric care. The establishment faces a severe shortage of professionals, both for medical and non-medical positions due to the harsh realities of territorial inequalities in care. Thus, there is a rate of 34 psychiatrists per 100,000 inhabitants in the Paris region, a figure which drops to 12.7 per 100,000 for the Loiret department. Many positions are vacant, particularly nursing positions, leading to the closure of beds and positions due to shortage of human resources. The resources allocated are well below the needs, especially since the EPSM of Loiret will have to take up a new challenge: that of its universityization (in order to train new young doctors). The paradox is striking: at a time when we are talking about the attractiveness of health establishments and particularly mental health, the Loiret department remains among the least well endowed financially with a ratio of 140 euros per inhabitant for the department compared to an average of 160 euros per inhabitant at the regional level and 170 euros per inhabitant at the national level. The inequalities in financial matters are striking and reveal, once again, the medical divide between urban and rural areas. In light of all these elements, she asks her if she intends to review her commitment to access to psychiatric care in rural and peri-urban areas in order to reduce the glaring inequalities that remain in the territories in terms of access to psychiatric care.
