Question 9286 — pharmacy and medications

Summary

Mr. Xavier Albertini alerts the Minister of Labor, Health, Solidarity and Families to the consequences of the reduction in commercial discounts authorized on generic medicines for pharmacies. Many pharmacists in his constituency, particularly small pharmacies, are already in tense economic situations and this measure would threaten their financial balance. The profession of pharmacist is a profession of passion, listening and support which also requires knowing how to manage a business, its stocks, and training in new health missions while being at the counter in front of patients to support them. The pharmacists he met expressed real disappointment at the announcement of this reform, which contravenes the efforts they have made to improve their skills in recent years, notably during the pandemic. They also fear a vocations crisis among young people. Also, in order not to cause closures leading to pharmaceutical deserts, he would like to know if the Government will renounce this measure and guarantee territorial coverage.
