Question 19769 — health professions

Summary

Mr. Yves Daniel questions the Minister of Solidarity and Health about the possibility of giving speech therapists the right to prescribe nicotine substitutes. Tobacco kills more than 70,000 people in France each year, and this is why the Government is actively involved in the fight against smoking, a real public health problem. The participation of all health professionals in this fight is essential. On a daily basis, speech therapists are required to care for numerous patients suffering from pathologies for which smoking is an aggravating factor (ENT tumor, brain tumor or even various vocal pathologies). However, with current regulations, the profession cannot prescribe nicotine substitutes and cannot actively participate in the fight against smoking. Consequently, she asks him if the opening of the right to the prescription of nicotine substitutes by speech therapists is envisaged by the Government.
