Question 5330 — health establishments

Summary

Mr. Mathieu Lefèvre questions the Minister to the Minister of Labor, Health, Solidarity and Families, responsible for health and access to care, about the place of companions during the care of a patient in the emergency room. The emergency situation in hospitals and clinics is worrying, both for patients and for the working conditions of healthcare professionals. Long waiting times and lack of of available beds, in addition to the sometimes precarious reception conditions for accompanying persons. On the one hand, the presence of the latter is most often subject to the approval of the medical profession even though their presence can be essential to ensure the safety of patients during their waiting time. On the other hand, the reception spaces and furniture made available to them are often insufficient and not adapted to their needs. Of the Therefore, increasing the presence of companions or volunteers could help avoid tragedies and alert medical staff more quickly to the deterioration of a patient's state of health. Thus, he asks if the Government is considering measures to remedy this problem and in particular an overhaul of the content of note Urg.FT.23/01 of July 2018 from the Ministry of Health and Access to Care on the place of accompanying persons and volunteers during the treatment of a patient in the emergency room.
