Question 42462 — health professions

Summary

Mr. Guillaume Chiche draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the situation encountered by psychologists since the start of the epidemic we are going through. Thus, while psychological disorders have been constantly increasing in the French population since the start of the pandemic and 75% of psychologists explain having noticed an increase in their workload, it appears that the financial question continues to be a very significant obstacle to access to psychological consultations, particularly in private practice. However, the proposals made by the Government seem insufficient and above all unsuitable. Indeed, it was proposed to impose a medical prescription even though the need for a prior medical consultation is unnecessary in practice, to the extent that psychologists are mental health professionals and that this condition has the sole purpose of making the procedure more cumbersome. Therefore, it is appropriate to simplify the care pathway for patients by eliminating the necessary medical prescription. Then, it appears that the pricing proposed by the Government is particularly low and does not make it possible to maintain the liberal exercise under acceptable conditions. This is why it seems essential to broaden the provisions of reimbursement of psychological consultations beyond professionals working in multidisciplinary health centers. He asks her for her position on the subject.
