Question 2917 — health

Summary

Ms. Albane Gaillot questions the Minister of National Education on health prevention in schools as part of the finance bill (PLF) for 2018. The PLF for 2018 provides for an increase in the budget of 9.8% compared to 2017 for prevention, health safety and healthcare provision actions (see program 204). An increase which the MP welcomes since it comes after a drop of 11.2% between 2016 and 2017 and even by 37.5% between 2014 and 2017. However, this increase should not mask the difficulties that exist in prevention and health education actions, particularly regarding school health, an essential issue in prevention among the youngest. On this subject, today in France, one in 2 students in REP + (44.5%) or REP (50.8%) has received a medical examination. However, the PLF for 2018 plans to achieve the objectives following: 75% of REP and REP + students in 2018 and 95% in 2020 will have received a medical examination. For this, school health credits - included in program 230 of the school education budgetary mission - will be increased by 2.9% compared to 2017. However, the MP questions this increase which is undoubtedly a little weak to make up for the delay taken by France. If we want to achieve the objectives set by the Government, shouldn't we increase the budgetary effort a little more? Finally, health personnel in public education (doctors and nurses) play an important role in the success of a prevention policy in schools. However, if since 2008, the number of nurses has increased (14.5%), the number of school doctors has decreased by 20%. Furthermore, the average supervision rate is one doctor for every 12 000 students. It is therefore important, according to the MP, that optimization (recruitment, training, working conditions, etc.) of resources is implemented. Here again, the MP hopes that the Government will not relax its efforts. She therefore asks him to please clarify the strategy and efforts deployed by the Government to improve health prevention in schools.
