Question 14560 — health professions

Summary

Mr. Frédéric Weber draws the attention of the Keeper of the Seals, Minister of Justice, to the increase in violence committed against health professionals, and in particular nurses. In his department, the information provided by the Departmental Council of the Order of Nurses of Meurthe-et-Moselle highlights this trend in a particularly worrying manner. Recently, several court decisions have been issued, imposing sanctions considered to be little dissuasive given the seriousness of the acts. For example, a suspended fine of 100 euros was imposed for acts of violence accompanied by death threats, while another sanction amounted to 900 euros for the violent attack on a nurse by a repeat offender. In addition, a large number of complaints would be archived without action, fueling a feeling widespread impunity in the profession. This violence has a direct impact on access to care and contributes to reducing the attractiveness of the profession. Some professionals refuse to work in areas or establishments considered dangerous, accentuating territorial inequalities and breakdowns in care. In addition, the law of July 9, 2025, known as the Pradal law, aimed at strengthening the criminal protection of health professionals remains, to date, partially inoperative in the absence of publication of its implementing decrees. In view of these elements, he asks what measures the Government intends to implement in order to guarantee an effective, dissuasive and appropriate criminal response to violence committed against caregivers and when the decrees implementing the law of July 9, 2025 will be published.
