Question 29010 — health

Summary

Mr. Jean-François Parigi alerts the Minister of the Economy and Finance on the prices of health protection equipment. France is preparing for deconfinement from May 11, 2020, which legitimately leads to an increase in demand for health protection equipment. Given the difficulties in supplying the country with masks, gowns and caps, local authorities, associations and volunteer groups have launched local artisanal production in order to respond effectively to demand and protect citizens as much as possible. Thus, all of this medical equipment is redistributed to health professionals, hospitals, nursing homes, traders, law enforcement and security forces, etc. This solidarity which was organized spontaneously throughout the country is confronted with the exorbitant rise in the prices of raw materials. In fact, we observe a explosion in the sales prices of elastics and fabric allowing the manufacture of these precious protective tools. Some companies are participating in the war effort by charging reasonable prices while others are simply looking to take advantage of the pandemic. Thus, he asks him if the Government intends to take measures to regulate both the prices of medical equipment, in order to avoid any abuse in the pricing of masks, gowns and caps, like the regulation of the sales price of hydroalcoholic gel, or also to regulate the price of the raw materials which allow their manufacture.
