Question 17396 — health professions

Summary

Mrs. Josiane Corneloup draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the question of the designation of zones concerning masseurs-physiotherapists and related aid. She questions him about the relevance of the methodology applied to establish this zoning: very under-endowed, under-endowed, intermediate, very endowed and over-endowed zones. She was contacted by a masseur-physiotherapist who chose to leave the commune of Gueugnon to settle in Perrecy-les-Forges in order to benefit from the aid allocated in an under-resourced area. Unfortunately for him, at the time of his departure, this municipality moved to an intermediate zone, even though it had fewer masseurs-physiotherapists in 2018 than it had in 2012. Furthermore, the members of this profession in this municipality and those surrounding it refuse many patients and have waiting lists whose length postpones appointments up to three months after making contact. This situation cannot meet the needs of patients who, for some, need rapid treatment in order to carry out the necessary rehabilitation exercises immediately after the operations they have undergone. Why change zoning in this way when the supply is insufficient and these areas are struggling? already attracting masseurs-physiotherapists? How can we respond tomorrow to the ambulatory shift with zoning that does not correspond to reality and is therefore not appropriate for attracting new professionals? Shouldn't the methodology applied for zoning take into account the number of patients who are unable to obtain an appointment within an acceptable time frame? She hopes that she will notice the inconsistencies which lengthen waiting lists and deteriorate the quality of care for patients in these areas and requests its intervention to remedy the situation.
