Question 15593 — health establishments

Summary

Mr. Maxime Laisney alerts the Minister of Health, Families, Autonomy and People with Disabilities about the attack on a nurse that occurred on April 12, 2026 as part of the exercise of her missions at the Édouard-Toulouse hospital. The staff representatives emphasize that this event does not constitute an isolated event but is part of a lasting context of tension linked to the lack of staff, the saturation of services and the deterioration of care conditions. The continued deterioration of the working conditions of agents and the insufficiency of medical and paramedical staff endanger public hospital workers as well as patients. The unions denounce the constant reduction in resources allocated to psychiatric care and the abandonment of this sector by the public authorities. Patients cannot benefit of the attention and care they need due to budget reductions which lead to bed closures and a lack of qualified staff. According to the parliamentary information report on the management of psychiatric emergencies tabled on December 11, 2024, visits to emergency rooms for psychiatric reasons increased by 21% between 2019 and 2023, with a particularly marked increase among adolescents and young people. adults. There is therefore an urgent need to enable caregivers to carry out their essential missions in this context of exploding needs for psychiatric care. In addition, there are insufficient resources to make the psychiatry sector attractive to interns. In 2025, out of 554 open positions, only 468 have been filled, leaving 15% of positions vacant. This shortage reflects the loss of attractiveness of a sector that is nevertheless essential to public health. Patients and caregivers deserve better than announcement effects emptied of their substance in the absence of allocation of additional resources. He therefore asks her what immediate measures she intends to take in order to strengthen the psychiatric workforce, guarantee the safety of staff and patients and ensure funding that meets the growing needs in mental health.
