Question 37759 — health professions

Summary

Ms. Caroline Abadie questions the Minister of Solidarity and Health on the outlook for medical demography in the country, and in particular the measures planned to strengthen the number of nurses that the country needs. The health crisis that we have been experiencing for over a year now has particularly highlighted the importance of health professionals in caring for fellow citizens and fighting on a daily basis against the pandemic. They were on the front line, and the French are unanimously grateful to them. Beyond infrastructure, this pandemic has clearly highlighted the need to have sufficiently numerous and sufficiently trained professionals. The creation of any new hospitalization or intensive care bed requires not only investment in premises and equipment but also, at the same time, in training and the recruitment of additional caregivers. In application of the law relating to the organization and transformation of the health system adopted in 2019, the numerus clausus has been removed for access to medical studies since the start of the 2020 school year. This makes it possible to envisage, within ten years, a welcome strengthening of the number of doctors, for the benefit of both the hospital sector and community medicine. For the consistency of healthcare system, it is necessary that the same ambition be deployed in favor of the nursing training sector. She would like to know if an initial assessment of the growth in numbers in the 2nd year of medical studies can be drawn up, and the actions that are planned to, with the same perspective, support in the short term the growth in the number of nurses in the country.
