Question 15275 — health

Summary

Ms. Nadine Lechon questions the Minister of Health, Families, Autonomy and Disabled People on the situation of private health transport in rural areas. Many medical transport companies are now warning of an extremely worrying deterioration in their economic situation, linked in particular to the increase in fuel costs, payroll costs, insurance and equipment, in a context of weakening of cash flow and decline in activity. In rural departments like the Dordogne, this situation would pose a growing risk to the availability of ambulance care (UPH) and, more broadly, to access to care for patients far from hospital centers. Professionals in the sector believe in particular that the current remuneration arrangements for ambulance guards no longer make it possible to cover the costs real operating conditions in rural areas characterized by long distances and a low volume of interventions. Several professional federations are now mentioning a risk of business failures and the disengagement of certain operators from childcare systems. She therefore asks what measures the Government intends to implement in order to guarantee the maintenance of the ambulance network in rural areas, to adapt the financing of the UPH to the specificities of rural departments and to provide, in the short term, responses to the economic difficulties encountered by private medical transport companies.
