Question 16024 — medicine

Summary

Mr. Boris Tavernier draws the attention of the Minister of Health, Families, Autonomy and Disabled People to the continued deterioration of access to dermatology care throughout the national territory. While skin diseases affect a very large number of patients, effective access to a dermatologist is becoming more and more complicated. This situation now results in a massive renunciation of care: 46% of French people say they have already given up on consulting a dermatologist, mainly due to delays in obtaining appointments, the insufficient availability of practitioners or their geographical distance. It highlights a growing breakdown in equality regarding access to specialized care, with worrying consequences in terms of diagnostic delays, loss of opportunity for patients and worsening of territorial inequalities. This shortage of supply has a direct impact on patients, but also on general practitioners, hospital structures and other professionals forced to take charge, urgently or by default, of situations requiring specialist dermatological advice. This situation is all the more alarming as the profession will face a massive retirement in the coming years. years, insufficiently compensated by the numbers currently trained. The available projections show a 28% drop in active dermatologists by 2030. Faced with this continued deterioration, he asks if the Government finally intends to recognize dermatology as a specialty in tension. He asks him in particular if he is ready to urgently increase the number of intern positions in dermatology, to the tune of 150 positions over five years, in order to anticipate retirements, secure access to care and guarantee patients an effective dermatological presence throughout the territory.
