Question 3988 — people with disabilities

Summary

Ms. Gisèle Lelouis draws the attention of the Minister of Labor, Health, Solidarity and Families to the situation of French families with a child with a disability hosted in specialized reception centers (MAS). Due to the lack of available places in France, many parents are forced to see their child cared for by foreign structures. However, these families today encounter increasing financial difficulties due to the obligation placed on them to bear the cost of their child's return journeys when they return home. This additional burden represents an unbearable unequal treatment for the parents concerned, who are often in an already precarious situation due to the demands linked to their child's disability. Faced with this situation, three choices are available to these families: assume these costs, which is often financially impossible; give up welcoming their child into their home, a humanly dramatic decision; or try to have him reinstated in an establishment in France, a solution which faces a shortage of available places. This situation reveals the insufficiency of resources allocated to disability care in France and the tendency to place the burden on families financial consequences of these institutional failures. The MP therefore wishes to know what measures the Government intends to take to respond to this injustice. Is it considering directly covering the transport costs of these children, as should be the case within a framework of national solidarity? What actions are being put in place to reduce France's dependence on healthcare establishments abroad and strengthen the reception offer in France, so that these children can be cared for as close as possible to their families? She wants to know the perspectives on this subject.
