Question 15325 — health professions

Summary

Mr. Brahim Hammouche questions the Minister of Solidarity and Health on the situation of the 4,000 doctors with non-European Union qualifications (PADHUE) threatened with exclusion from French hospitals on January 1, 2019. Providing a significant part of the operation of French public hospitals, doctors with foreign qualifications - 75% of whom are French - have always faced non-recognition of their training and skills. In Indeed, the regulations concerning them, although modified several times, have not fundamentally changed the precariousness of their situation, which sometimes results in total exclusion. On several occasions, the Minister has spoken out about the need to reform the practice authorization procedure for these practitioners, which she considers to be one of the key elements of the continuity of care and the balance of the health system in France. However, the Constitutional Council recently contested the validity of the law which provided for an extension of authorization to practice until December 31, 2020. Certain practitioners could be prohibited from practicing in France from January 1, 2019. It is therefore asking for clarification on the Government's position on this issue and in particular whether an authorization to exercise and maintain these practitioners in France is considered, as is the case in other neighboring European countries.
