Question 18927 — health professions

Summary

Mrs Nadia Ramassamy draws the attention of the Minister of the Interior to the increase in attacks against doctors. In fact, for the fourth year in a row, reported verbal and physical attacks have increased. The Physician Safety Observatory notes a 9% increase between 2017 and 2018 in reports of attacks, 70% of which concern a general practitioner. In addition, an estimated 30% of reported attacks are reported. THE general practitioners practicing alone in practice lack information on reporting procedures and in hospitals the figures are reduced to preserve the image of the establishment. In addition, only a third of reports of assault result in a complaint. Finally, if doctors are affected by an increase in violence and attacks against them, this is also the case for other health professionals, as in bear witness to the 8,000 acts of verbal and physical aggression that hit nurses in 2018. Finally, healthcare professionals account for 80% of the verbal and physical attacks recorded in hospitals, and among the 80%, 94% are caregivers and nurses. Thus, she asks what the Government intends to do to generalize alert systems as close as possible to practitioners and health professionals.
