Question 5976 — medicine

Summary

Mr. Guillaume Florquin draws the attention of the Minister of Labor, Health, Solidarity and Families to the persistent insufficiency in the number of health professionals trained each year, due to the limitations imposed by the reception capacities of universities and hospitals. While France is experiencing a structural crisis in access to care, marked by the continued progression of medical deserts, departures from retirement not being replaced and the growing overload of practicing practitioners, the number of doctors and specialists trained each year remains largely insufficient to meet the needs of the population. If the numerus clausus has been formally removed and replaced by the numerus apertus, the logic which underlies it persists: it is the reception capacities - material, logistical and human - which determine the number of students authorized to continue their medical studies and not the other way around. In other words, France continues to adapt the training of doctors to existing means, which are notoriously insufficient and not to the real needs of the country. Worse still, this logic leads to an outsourcing of medical training: every year, thousands of young French people are forced to study abroad, often in structures private, in order to circumvent the quotas imposed in France, before returning to practice on national territory. This system constitutes nonsense in terms of health sovereignty and public health policy. He therefore asks if the Government intends to reverse this logic, by defining as a priority the number of doctors that the Nation needs to train each year, then by mobilizing the necessary means to increase significantly increased training capacities, both academic and hospital.
