Question 28726 — refugees and stateless persons

Summary

Mrs Cécile Muschotti draws the attention of the Minister of the Interior to the situation of asylum seekers with regard to their access to medical care. The announcement by the Prime Minister, on November 6, 2019 following the interministerial committee on immigration and integration, of the introduction of a three-month waiting period for the affiliation of asylum seekers to universal health protection, as they are no longer admissible, during this period, only for urgent care, materialized during the examination of the “Health” credits of the initial finance bill for 2020 and by the adoption of the decree of December 30, 2019 making applicable to adult asylum seekers the condition of stability of their residence in France to benefit from the coverage of their health costs by social security systems. Waiting for their insurance affiliation illness, asylum seekers are turning to emergency services and health care hotlines, already overloaded due to the covid-19 epidemic. In addition, this waiting period considerably complicates any consultation with a doctor and, where applicable, a medical examination necessary for certain formalities. While this measure is likely to have, in itself, numerous impacts for asylum seekers, in particularly for those of them who registered, as such, before March 16, 2020, it also raises questions in terms of public health, in the light of the health crisis that France is going through. She therefore asks him if the three-month waiting period is still appropriate, when the Government has just extended by order the period of validity of asylum application certificates for 90 days from March 16, 2020.
