Question 20886 — security of goods and people

Summary

Mrs. Pascale Boyer draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the safety of people and vehicles assigned to the mobile emergency and resuscitation structures (SMUR) of the public hospital service. Today, SMURs in the public hospital service are reporting problems related to the visibility of their vehicles on public roads. The team that makes up the SMUR must include: a doctor, a nurse, and a driver or pilot who holds a state ambulance diploma. This team, dependent on the public hospital service, serves patients on a daily basis and is mobilized in often very serious emergencies which require high responsiveness and control of the risks involved. So that they can intervene in good conditions, it appears necessary that SMUR ambulances can be distinguished from emergency ambulances. medical transport of private companies, in more than one way. On the one hand, SMUR intervene in danger zones in the same way as firefighters or police and gendarmerie services; on the other hand, the medical nature of their emergency intervention calls for this distinction. Indeed, a European recommendation recommends that resuscitation and emergency ambulances have yellow bodywork in order to secure on the one hand, and to recognize the urgent nature of their mission. This recommendation is applied in France in a very variable manner. Consequently, in order to harmonize the security conditions specific to all public service personnel active in the field of health emergencies, it asks what measures could be taken to generalize the application of the European recommendation concerning the yellow coloring of SMUR vehicles.
