Question 2090 — women

Summary

Mr. Perceval Gaillard draws the attention of the Minister of Health and Access to Care to the urgency of developing a national prevention plan against fetal alcohol abuse. Alcohol is a powerful teratogenic agent, particularly harmful to the brain development of the unborn child throughout pregnancy. Its impact can cause fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) and other associated disorders (FASD), leading to serious and lasting consequences. According to a recent Opinion Way study, 27% of pregnant women continue to consume alcohol despite being aware of their pregnancy. According to the SAF France association, each year, around 15,000 children exposed to alcohol in utero are born with a predisposition to more than 400 pathologies, in particular mental health disorders. The costs for society are estimated at nearly 20 billion euros per year. Yet much of this damage is preventable. It is crucial to raise awareness in society about the dangers of fetal alcohol abuse. For this, SAF France recommends full support from the State and regional health agencies (ARS) for the implementation of a prevention plan. However, this support remains limited to date: the ARS of La Réunion has refused any collaboration with SAF France and the ARS Bourgogne-Franche-Comté has also ruled out any joint project due to SAF France's partnerships with alcohol producers and distributors. However, these industrial partners actively collaborate with SAF France, in a spirit of co-responsibility. The MP therefore asks the Minister that this notion of co-responsibility be shared by the State and the ARS, thus allowing the implementation of an ambitious and effective prevention plan against fetal alcohol syndrome nationwide. For the record, SAF France is a national association, deeply established in Reunion Island, which has been working for 16 years in the prevention of risks linked to alcohol during pregnancy. Heir to Réunisaf, she is at the origin of the “Anne-Marie Payet laws” and the introduction in 2007 of the preventive logo. He wants to know his position on the subject.
