Question 37308 — health

Summary

Mr. Didier Martin questions the Minister of Solidarity and Health about the continuity of care during a health crisis. With the covid-19 crisis, the maximum treatment capacities of health establishments have been reached or even exceeded. On several occasions, caregivers have had to cancel certain non-urgent operations in order to limit hospital saturation. These postponements thus made it possible to free up intensive care beds, necessary for the care of citizens affected by the virus. However, deprogramming an operation or postponing it is not a trivial choice. On the contrary, it is a choice that caregivers make in pain because they find themselves confronted with the need to prioritize the care needs of patients, at a time when medical resources are very limited. The consequences of postponements may indeed be important for the patients who are subject to it: deterioration of their state of health, increased anxiety, much later treatment and loss of opportunity in the fight against certain pathologies sometimes leading to the administration of more serious treatments. If the consequences of the health crisis are being felt heavily within healthcare establishments, they are also significant for the general population. THE Fewer French people continue their check-up visits or monitor their chronic illnesses, sometimes for fear of being contaminated or of seeking medical attention that others, according to them, need more, or even due to insufficient digital access. The MP would like to know if studies are currently being carried out to better understand and quantify the impact of the health crisis on the state. general health of the population. He would also like to have details on the strategy that the Government is implementing during the health crisis to ensure continuity of care for all French people.
