Question 16604 — maternity health insurance

Summary

Mr. Pierre-Yves Cadalen draws the attention of the Minister of Health, Families, Autonomy and Disabled People to the endangerment of both public and private health transport, linked to successive cuts in the social security budget. Social security budgets continue to be impacted by the Government's financial logic, even as health needs intensify. However, companies private health transporters have signed an expenditure control protocol, allowing health insurance to make 150 million euros in savings through the development of shared transport and the fight against fraud. Despite respecting these commitments, private medical transport is today on the verge of bankruptcy even though it is one of the last local services available, continuously, on the entire national territory. Thus, their bankruptcy would have concrete consequences and would particularly affect patients, in a context of growing medical deserts, with in 2025 nearly 87% of the national territory classified in a situation of “medical fragility”. Half of the private transporters receive the minimum wage, the other half receive barely more than 4.5% of the minimum wage while the hours, sometimes eleven hours a day, during public holidays or even at night, are difficult, which does not make this profession attractive. In addition, since 2018, prehospital rates have not been increased while insurance and fuel costs are increasing, which causes a risk of these essential services disappearing due to lack of resources. Faced with these urgent problems, the MP insists on the need to block energy prices and stop the logic of social austerity weighing on health transporters and the entire health system. He would like to know what strategic planning the Government intends to put in place to stop the precariousness of medical transporters and ensure the sustainability of these services.
