Question 4310 — health

Summary

Mr. Thierry Tesson questions the Minister to the Minister of Labor, Health, Solidarity and Families, responsible for health and access to care, on the elimination of the budget allocated to research on pediatric cancer. Each year, around 2,300 children and adolescents are diagnosed with cancer in France, including nearly 150 new cases in the departments of Nord and Pas-de-Calais. These diseases represent now the leading cause of death from disease among children over one year old. Despite scientific progress, many pediatric cancers remain difficult to treat due to a lack of funding dedicated to research and development of suitable therapies. The eliminated budget was nevertheless essential to support teams of researchers, accelerate medical innovation and guarantee young patients access to more effective treatments. This decision therefore raises many questions about the Government's desire to make the fight against these cancers a public health priority. He therefore asks him how he can justify this elimination of essential funds and what measures will be taken to ensure the continuation of efforts in favor of sick children.
