Question 19057 — end of life and palliative care

Summary

Mr. Benoit Simian draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the urgency of adopting and implementing a new national palliative care plan for the years to come, the one covering the period 2015-2018 and with a budget of 190 million euros, having been completed. Indeed, for years, the observation has been unanimous: there is an absolute need to develop palliative care. Over the past fifteen years, the implementation implementation of three three-year plans dedicated to this priority has enabled significant progress to be made. But according to data from the report from the National Center for Palliative and End-of-Life Care published in January 2018 on this theme, we can estimate that less than half of sick people requiring palliative support have benefited from it. It is clear that the provision of palliative care faces several pitfalls: that of territorial disparities, that of development too centered on the hospital, that of the training of caregivers and also that of financing methods. However, it is important to understand this support in all its dimensions; human, compassionate, technical, medical and financial. It clearly appears that major efforts still remain to be made, particularly with regard to the unequal distribution of supply. of care in the territory and the lack of staff in the structures. He therefore asks her to please indicate whether she intends to initiate a new national palliative care plan for the next four years, according to what orientations, with what means and within what time frame it will come into force.
