Question 18199 — health professions

Summary

Mr. Damien Abad alerts the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the shortage of psychiatrists at the Ain psychotherapeutic center. Indeed, with 7.9 psychiatrists per 100,000 inhabitants according to figures from the 2018 atlas of the National Council of the Order of Physicians (CNOM), the Ain department ranks among the bottom five in mainland France. Since 2010, the number of full-time psychiatrists has increased from 68 to 59 including 16 who are over 62 years old, with a movement that will increase in the years to come. In 2018, due to a lack of candidates, the establishment opted for medical temporary recruitment. Since March 2018, 26 temporary psychiatric doctors have succeeded one another. However, the use of temporary medical work has a negative impact on the quality of care for patients who deplore the succession of doctors. To date, the establishment has still 11 vacant psychiatrist positions and the healthcare team is demobilized. Given their difficulties in recruiting, they are no longer able to treat patients within a reasonable time frame. Also, he asks what concrete and urgent measures could be taken by the Government concerning the shortage of psychiatrists at the Ain psychotherapeutic center in order to improve medical attractiveness.
