Question 39460 — health professions

Summary

Ms. Michèle Peyron draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the demographic tensions in health matters that Seine-et-Marne must face both from the point of view of city medicine and health establishments. Indeed, access to care seems increasingly complicated for many Seine-et-Marnais residents. According to the Regional Union of Health Professionals (URPS), 800 general practitioners are in activity in Seine-et-Marne as of December 31, 2020, that is to say a ratio on average of less than six general practitioners per 10,000 Seine-et-Marnais, i.e. a drop of 13% compared to 2016. Furthermore, 86% of doctors are not able to welcome new patients according to a study conducted by UFC-Que-Choisir. Seine-et-Marne would therefore be ranked 97th out of 101 departments in terms of medical desertification according to the Order of doctors. The observation is therefore alarming, especially since future forecasts seem to follow the same path. Indeed, the average age of general practitioners is high and many of them will retire in a few years, thus accentuating inequalities in access to care and the difficulties for rural communities in attracting new doctors. Every year 75 general practitioners retire in Seine-et-Marne for only 25 installations. Faced with this observation, the Government has carried out several concrete actions aimed at combating medical deserts, including a healthcare access plan put in place in 2017, included in the My Health 2022 strategy. Also, she asks whether Seine-et-Marne constitutes a territory targeted by these projects and what are the concrete solutions implemented in the territory.
