Summary

Mr. Brahim Hammouche draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the notice of project for setting the transfer prices, tariffs and limit prices for sales to the public of medical devices which are used in the context of urinary and fecal incontinence (40 million euros of savings are envisaged in 2019), infusion (25 million euros) and medical beds (30 million euros). These change notices tariffs which aim to make a saving of 150 million euros this year and which were also proposed on the advice of the Economic Committee for Health Products (CEPS) were the subject of publication in the Official Journal on March 1, 2019. However, these measures seriously worry professionals in the home support sector about the harmful economic repercussions that this could have on their activities. In fact, they estimate that this price change endangers the sustainability of their businesses to the extent that they considerably reduce their margins and also deteriorate the quality of patient care. The risk of such a drop in pricing also has repercussions in terms of team management and agent recruitment while the needs of the population are increasingly evolving in this sector which is considered to be of this is a priority for the Government. Also, he asks if consultation measures will still be planned with representatives of companies in the sector in order to overcome these difficulties.
