Question 17135 — health professions

Summary

Ms. Fabienne Colboc draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the issue of medical deserts, particularly the shortage of ophthalmologists. In fact, you have to wait 77 days on average, or more than two months, to get an appointment with an eye specialist. In certain departments the situation is even more worrying, this is the case in Indre-et-Loire where 8 out of 10 ophthalmologists refuse to take new patients and for the remaining 20%, the wait is very long: between 6 and 9 months on average to get an appointment. The effects of the plan to combat medical deserts announced in 2017 are currently barely visible in this department. For these reasons, she would like to know how the Government intends to respond to this demand for care, and to the drop in the number of ophthalmology specialists in the territories. On the other hand, it requests details on the strategy put in place by the Government to encourage specialized doctors to settle in rural areas.
