Mr. Bartolomé Lenoir draws the attention of the Minister of Health, Families, Autonomy and People with Disabilities to the budgetary guidelines envisaged for 2027 concerning family policy. A joint report from the General Inspectorate of Finance (IGF) and the General Inspectorate of Social Affairs (IGAS), published at the end of July 2026, proposes a set of savings measures estimated at 4.2 billion euros, of which 2.5 billion in the short term. These measures aim in particular to eliminate the 10% pension increase for parents of three or more children, replaced by a flat rate of 125 euros (targeted saving: 1.1 billion euros); the elimination of the tax reduction for tuition fees for middle and high school students (450 million euros); the 20% reduction in the resource ceilings governing family allowances, as well as the elimination of these allowances for the wealthiest households (900 million euros in total); the 10% reduction in the family quotient ceiling (580 million euros); the reduction in the free choice of childcare supplement (CMG), already reformed in September 2025 (75 million euros); a review of the tax advantages linked to employment at home. The MP recalls that French family policy, resulting from ordinances of 1945, is based on a contributory principle: it was designed to support the renewal of generations and compensate, for families, the effort made in the education of children. He underlines that these trade-offs take place in a context of deep demographic crisis, the number of births having decreased by 24% since 2010, and where the long-term sustainability of the pay-as-you-go pension system depends directly from demographic renewal. These guidelines therefore raise serious questions regarding the objectives of supporting the birth rate that the Government nevertheless claims to defend. The MP also observes that the majority of households affected by these measures belong to the middle classes rather than the wealthiest categories, contrary to the stated objective. Consequently, he wishes to know for what reasons the Government commissioned this report from the IGF and IGAS and what was the exact mission letter addressed to the inspections; what action the Government intends to give to these recommendations within the framework of the finance bill for 2027; if the Government undertakes to preserve the contributory nature of the pension increase for large families; and finally, how he intends to reconcile these savings with the objective, reaffirmed on several occasions, support for the birth rate and French demographics.

M. Bartolomé Lenoir appelle l'attention de Mme la ministre des sports, de la jeunesse et de la vie associative sur l'absence, à ce jour, de précisions concernant les modalités de mise en œuvre du pass Sport 2026, alors que la rentrée scolaire et sportive approche à grands pas. Annoncé dans le cadre de l'examen du projet de loi de finances pour 2026, le rétablissement du pass Sport pour les enfants de 6 à 13 ans, initialement supprimé pour cette tranche d'âge à l'été 2025, avait été salué comme une mesure de justice sociale et d'incitation à la pratique sportive. Or, alors que les inscriptions dans les clubs sportifs ont d'ores et déjà commencé et que la rentrée de septembre 2026 est proche, aucune information officielle n'a été communiquée aux familles ni aux structures sportives sur les modalités concrètes d'attribution et d'utilisation de ce dispositif : critères d'éligibilité, montant de l'aide, calendrier de déploiement, ni même l'organisme chargé de son pilotage, la Caisse nationale des allocations familiales (CNAF) étant seulement pressentie à ce stade. Cette incertitude a suscité une mobilisation inédite du mouvement sportif : un collectif réunissant près de 300 signataires (élus locaux et nationaux, présidents et présidentes de fédérations sportives, Comité national olympique et sportif français et ses entités territoriales) a publié le 17 juillet 2026 un communiqué qualifiant la situation d'« inacceptable » et appelant le Gouvernement à publier « sans délai » les modalités du dispositif. Dans le département de la Creuse, ce flou pénalise directement les familles aux revenus modestes ainsi que les clubs sportifs départementaux, qui ne peuvent ni préparer leurs campagnes d'inscription, ni informer leurs adhérents sur les aides disponibles, dans un territoire rural où le maintien de la pratique sportive des plus jeunes constitue un enjeu majeur de cohésion sociale et de santé publique. Il lui demande donc de bien vouloir préciser dans les meilleurs délais : le calendrier de publication des modalités du pass Sport 2026 ; les critères d'éligibilité et le montant de l'aide pour la tranche d'âge des 6-13 ans ; l'organisme chargé du pilotage opérationnel du dispositif ; ainsi que les outils qui seront mis à la disposition des clubs et des familles pour en bénéficier avant la rentrée de septembre 2026.

Mr. Bartolomé Lenoir alerts the Minister Delegate to the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial, Energy and Digital Sovereignty, responsible for artificial intelligence and digital technology, on the persistence of very numerous white zones regarding mobile telephone coverage in the department of Creuse and on the serious consequences which result from this for the inhabitants, in particular in the area of access to emergency care. Creuse is one of the French departments most affected by the digital divide. Despite the successive commitments of operators under the New Mobile Deal concluded in 2018 and the resulting deployment obligations, many municipalities and rural areas remain deprived of reliable telephone coverage. These inadequacies concern a significant number of inhabitants and profoundly affect their daily life. The problem takes on a particularly worrying dimension in terms of health. In a department where the distances to healthcare structures are already significant, residents regularly find themselves unable to reach the SAMU or emergency services under satisfactory conditions: interrupted calls, need to dial 15 several times and drop-out areas making communications difficult unstable. This situation generates real anxiety among people facing a medical emergency and delays treatment. These communication difficulties are added to those of the geographical distance from hospitals, emergency services and general practitioners, thus creating a double disadvantage for the inhabitants of Creuse. Telephone coverage is not a luxury: it is a vital infrastructure, at the same time as roads or local public services. Also, he asks him to please specify the progress of the deployment of mobile networks in Creuse, in particular the number of municipalities or areas still lacking coverage; what concrete measures are envisaged to accelerate the coverage of persistent white zones, in particular those located on routes used by the emergency services and, finally, if the Government plans to put in place control and sanction mechanisms with regard to operators not respecting their deployment obligations, as well as specific mechanisms to guarantee the reachability of emergency numbers throughout the Creuse territory.

Mr. Bartolomé Lenoir draws the attention of the Minister of the Interior to the critical situation of the staff at the Guéret police station, in Creuse. For two years, the deterioration of working conditions within this police station has continued. As of September 1, 2026, three retirements, two transfers of judicial police officers and two departures of judicial police officers leaving the investigative function remain unreplaced. This lack of staff, aggravated by significant absenteeism linked to staff exhaustion, has led to a department being put on hold, a situation which reflects the advanced state of tension in which this police station finds itself. A new wave of departures is announced by June 2027, with one retirement and four additional departures without prospect of replacement, which raises fears of a lasting worsening of the situation. He asks him what measures he intends to take to urgently strengthen the workforce at the Guéret police station and what particular attention he intends to pay to this police station in order to support the work and commitment of the police officers on duty.

Mr. Bartolomé Lenoir draws the attention of the Minister of the Interior to the increase in acts of vandalism and deliberate damage committed against forestry workers in the Creuse department. These actions, which have been repeated for several months, deliberately target professionals in the exercise of their profession. For example, the vehicle of a harvester driver had its four tires deliberately seen. perforated with a knife in broad daylight on a construction site located in Faux-la-Montagne. These acts generate a climate of serious insecurity for the employees concerned. He therefore wishes to know what measures the Government intends to implement to ensure the protection of forestry workers in the face of these repeated malicious acts, to strengthen the presence of law enforcement in the areas concerned and to guarantee that the perpetrators of such acts are identified and pursued as soon as possible.

Mr. Bartolomé Lenoir draws the attention of the Minister of Ecological Transition, Biodiversity and International Negotiations on Climate and Nature to the worrying situation generated by the protection status enjoyed by the great cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) across all French inland waters. The National Fishing Federation in France (FNPF), the departmental federations, the approved associations of fishing and protection of the aquatic environment (AAPPMA), unions of pond owners, fish farmers as well as all professionals whose activity is directly impacted by the predation exerted by this species report considerable fish damage. The great cormorant population has experienced significant growth in recent decades, well beyond the coastal areas which historically justified its protection. The available scientific data confirms that populations of this species can no longer be considered to be in decline. Their conservation status now appears favorable over a large part of their range, which leads many stakeholders to question the relevance of maintaining the current level of protection. The consequences on the sector are multiple and documented: losses significant financial losses for fish farms, closures of establishments, destruction of jobs in the fishing and fishing tourism sectors, and irreversible damage to the fish biodiversity of rivers and inland water bodies. These impacts are particularly sensitive in rural departments such as Creuse, where recreational fishing and fish farming constitute economic and structuring tourism. At the European level, during the last “Agriculture and Fisheries” Council (AGRIFISH), several Member States called on the European Commission to re-examine the management methods for the great cormorant. Some have called for a review of its protection status in order to allow management more adapted to the realities on the ground, while others have called for the development of a real European plan for the management of the species. This dynamic reflects a growing awareness at the community level. At the national level, France recently changed its regulations by authorizing, under certain conditions, regulatory operations on open waters, a development long awaited by managers of aquatic environments. This progress, however, remains limited by the cumbersome administrative procedures governing the requests for exemption, the level of justification required for which often appears disproportionate to the damage observed on the ground. A simplification of these procedures, accompanied by a strengthening of the legal certainty of prefectural decrees, would allow more effective implementation of these regulations, while guaranteeing compliance with the protection requirements of the species. Faced with this situation, the mobilization of actors in the sector are organizing at the national level, with calls to demonstrate in front of prefectures and requests for the reclassification of the great cormorant as game on all inland waters. Consequently, he asks what measures the Government intends to take to adapt the protection regime for this species to the reality of its current presence on internal waters, in order to reconcile the preservation of the biodiversity with the economic viability of the fishing industry and the protection of fish ecosystems; and whether it plans to initiate a simplification of exemption procedures in order to facilitate the effective implementation of authorized regulatory operations.

Mr. Bartolomé Lenoir draws the attention of the Minister of Labor and Solidarity to the effects of Decree No. 2026-261 of April 8, 2026 modifying the terms of application of the exemption from employer social security contributions provided for in Article L. 241-10 of the Social Security Code. This decree raises the age threshold for automatic exemption from employer contributions for the employment of home help from 70 to 80 years. In a rural department like Creuse, this decision takes on particular gravity in view of the demographic and social reality of the department. Creuse is in fact one of the oldest departments in France, with 30% of the population aged 65 and over. In this exceptional demographic context, home care is not one choice among others: it is often the only accessible solution. The non-profit sector is very present in the department, particularly functions linked to health and social action. Alternatives at home are insufficient and medical deserts aggravate the isolation of seniors in rural communities. The economic precariousness of Creuse retirees further amplifies the problem: the median annual income per consumption unit in Creuse is 11% lower than the regional average and almost one in five people was in poverty. In this one of the most vulnerable departments, the contested decree will produce its harshest effects. At the national level, this measure directly affects 348,000 self-employed individual employers aged 70 to 79. It results in an increase in the remainder payable from 10.62 euros to 12.21 euros per hour declared, i.e. an increase of 15%, particularly heavy for retirees with modest incomes. The Home Employment Observatory estimates that this measure could destroy 5.7 million hours of employment, representing 3,086 full-time equivalents, with direct consequences on local employment. The risk of increased recourse to undeclared work is real and documented. It would threaten both the social protection of the employees concerned and the very revenue that this measure claims to generate. Furthermore, the retroactive scope of the decree to January 1, 2026 raises serious concerns. Hundreds of thousands of households have paid their contributions since the start of 2026 in good faith, according to the rules then in force. The regularizations that could result expose these individuals to administrative, financial and legal difficulties that are difficult to accept. It should be noted that social security funds, consulted during the development of the text, unanimously gave an unfavorable opinion. Consequently, he asks if the Government plans to reverse this decree or suspend its application, in particular for people aged 70 to 79 residing in rural areas that are heavily aged and under-provided with alternative solutions to staying at home such as Creuse; what instructions have been or will be given to Urssaf National Fund regarding the treatment of contributions paid since January 1, 2026 according to the previous rules, and whether administrative tolerance will be granted for periods prior to the publication of the decree. Finally, he would like to know whether corrective measures are being considered to preserve both formal employment in the home help sector and the effective right of independent elderly people to remain at home. them with dignity, in departments where this issue is particularly acute.

Mr. Bartolomé Lenoir draws the attention of the Minister of National Education to those supporting students with disabilities (AESH) who have a determining role in the academic success and development of the autonomy of students with disabilities. However, their status remains precarious, with imposed part-time contracts and no clear career prospects. Their situation is insufficiently recognized and deeply unfair. They are waiting for recognition. They expect working conditions worthy of their mission. Today, nearly 140,000 AESH work in a profession essential to educational inclusion, for remuneration which is often around 900 euros net per month. Due to a lack of attractiveness, positions remain vacant at each start of the school year, leaving children without the support notified by their departmental center for people with disabilities. (MDPH). A proposed resolution was tabled in the National Assembly (No. 664, December 3, 2024) aimed at creating a real body of civil servants dedicated to AESH, with decent remuneration, solid training and clarified missions in the service of educational inclusion. He asks him if the Government is ready to finally create a lasting status for AESH. If necessary, he asks with what concrete measures, what budgetary means and in what precise timetable it intends to meet the expectations of these staff and families.

Mr. Bartolomé Lenoir draws the attention of the Minister of Labor and Solidarity to the particularly worrying situation of disabled workers, deprived since January 1, 2025 of the benefit of the accumulation between their disability pension and the activity bonus. Until December 31, 2024, this system allowed many beneficiaries to combine these two resources, helping to secure their professional career. Since January 1, 2025, this possibility has been removed for the majority of interested parties, with the exception of certain beneficiaries falling under a particularly restricted transitional regime. For certain workers, particularly part-time workers, the loss of income can reach up to 2,000 euros per year. This reduction occurs in a context marked by the increase in the cost of living and is added to the constraints linked to exercise an activity in a disability situation, such as increased fatigue or additional costs (transport, accommodation, support). Such a development is likely to weaken job retention, or even discourage professional activity, due to an unfavorable financial differential. Furthermore, this suppression takes on a particularly heavy psychological and symbolic dimension for establishment workers. and work support services (ESAT). For these workers, the activity bonus was not perceived as a simple additional resource but was experienced as concrete recognition, a form of reward for their commitment to work, a tangible sign that they were considered, at least in part, as workers in their own right. It constituted a marker of belonging to the ordinary world of work and its rights. ESAT workers work in a specific medico-social framework which does not fall under common labor law: they are not employees within the meaning of the labor code, do not benefit from the minimum wage and their status remains legally distinct from that of the ordinary worker. Access to the activity bonus represented one of the rare symbolic and financial bridges between their situation and that of other workers. This decision comes into direct contradiction with the orientations of public policies which, for several years, have tended precisely to bring ESAT workers closer to common law and to strengthen their social and professional inclusion (right to professional training, access to occupational medicine, supplementary health coverage, development of provision in ordinary companies). Removing the activity bonus sends a signal contradictory: on the one hand, the State recognizes these workers as full participants in the world of work and extends common rights to them; on the other, it excludes them from one of the main support systems for professional activity. In this context, he asks whether the Government intends to restore the assimilation of disability pensions to professional income for the calculation of the activity bonus, or failing that, what measures it plans to implement in order to compensate for the loss of income suffered by these workers and not compromise their continued employment, and finally how it intends to reconcile the removal of this system with the stated policy of bringing ESAT workers closer to common law.

Mr. Bartolomé Lenoir questions the Minister of Health, Families, Autonomy and People with Disabilities on the unequal treatment of the protection of workers suffering from Parkinson's disease in the public service and in the general system. Parkinson's disease is a degenerative, progressive and irreversible neurological condition. Recognized as such by the medical community, it causes increasing disabilities (motor, cognitive, behavioral disorders), which profoundly alter the ability of affected people to exercise professional activity. It affects more than 270,000 people in France, a significant proportion of whom are still working at the time of diagnosis. However, in the two major protection regimes applicable to assets, people suffering from Parkinson's disease come up against the same gap: the absence of income protection system adapted to the duration and severity of their pathology. In the civil service, the long-term leave (CLD) system provides for continued treatment for up to five years for certain serious illnesses. The list of illnesses giving entitlement to this leave, established by decree, includes cancer, tuberculosis, mental illnesses, poliomyelitis and HIV infection. Parkinson's disease is not there. Agents who suffer from this can only claim long-term sickness leave (CLM), which is significantly less favorable, particularly in terms of maintaining remuneration and retirement rights. This exclusion creates a clear break in equality between civil servants whose medical situation is of comparable seriousness and duration. It is all the more incomprehensible as the modification of this list falls under the sole regulatory power. There is no equivalent to long-term civil service leave in the general system. Employees in the private sector suffering from Parkinson's disease benefit, under the long-term condition (ALD), from 100% coverage of care linked to their pathology. But the ALD system does not guarantee any particular income protection beyond the statutory daily allowances. common, limited in their duration and amount. The employees concerned are therefore exposed, in the long term, to a significant loss of income and to a lasting weakening of their financial situation. A legislative or conventional development allowing the creation of a specific income maintenance system for workers suffering from severe neurodegenerative diseases, within the framework, for example, of a reform of the care of long-term incapacity for work, could meet this unmet need. In both cases, active people diagnosed at an often young age find themselves, at the very moment when they are faced with a very disturbing medical announcement, confronted with financial precarity that existing law cannot prevent. Consequently, with regard to the civil service, he asks whether the Government intends to modify by decree the list of illnesses giving entitlement to long-term leave, in order to include Parkinson's disease and, more broadly, severe degenerative neurological illnesses meeting the same criteria of severity and progression. If so, within what time frame and according to what procedure? Regarding the general regime, a reflection on the creation of a reinforced income protection system for employees in the private sector suffering from neurodegenerative diseases, could it be carried out within the framework of a legislative reform or an incentive for sectoral collective bargaining? For both regimes, are transitional measures envisaged for people already in employment who suffer, due to these shortcomings, an uncompensated loss of income and retirement rights? Finally, he asks him if the Government plans to entrust to the General Inspectorate of Social Affairs (IGAS) a cross-sectional mission to evaluate systems for protecting assets suffering from neurodegenerative diseases, with a view to formulating harmonized proposals between the two regimes.

Mr. Bartolomé Lenoir draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial, Energy and Digital Sovereignty to the particularly worrying situation of road transport companies, faced with soaring fuel prices. Transporters, particularly in rural areas such as Creuse, have been operating for several years in a fragile economic context, characterized by margins extremely reduced and increased competition. The recent and continued rise in fuel prices aggravates an already critical situation and further weakens their economic model. For example, the cost of a 1,000 liter tank, which recently amounted to 1,700 euros, has now reached almost 2,000 euros. This sudden increase represents a significant additional burden that these companies, already constrained in their margins, struggle to absorb. However, these companies have a sustained level of activity and respond to a very real demand. Despite this volume of work, their economic balance is today threatened by the continued increase in their operating costs, in particular that of fuel. Some transport companies today find themselves on the verge of cessation of activity and liquidation procedures. judiciary are increasing. Without sufficient margins to absorb these increases, they could disappear in the short term even though they play a strategic role in the operation of logistics chains and regional planning. This situation also raises a strategic issue. The road transport sector constitutes an essential pillar of the Creuse and national economy. The weakening of businesses national authorities could favor the entry or strengthening of foreign players to the detriment of the local and national economic fabric, thus raising a question of economic sovereignty. Also, he asks what concrete and urgent measures the Government intends to implement to support road transport companies in the face of soaring fuel prices, to preserve their economic balance despite a sustained level of activity and guarantee the sustainability of this strategic sector for rural territories and national sovereignty. He also wants to know if adaptive tax measures are currently being studied in order to cushion the effects of the volatility of energy prices.

Mr. Bartolomé Lenoir questions the Minister of Health, Families, Autonomy and People with Disabilities about the deep incomprehension and the major difficulties caused in rural areas, particularly in the department of Creuse, by the entry into force of Decree No. 2025-304 of April 1, 2025 relating to the conditions of supervision in micro-crèches. The creation of micro-crèches has made it possible to bring, within numerous territories rural areas, a flexible response adapted to the needs of families. The communities are strongly committed to this model, building new premises, recruiting staff and structuring a quality reception offer. The application of the new decree profoundly calls into question the balance of existing structures. Indeed, the requirement that 40% of the team hold a diploma now recognized by this text, as well as that the restriction of diplomas making it possible to alone ensure the reception of three children during openings and closings, creates strong tensions in the organization of the teams. These provisions lead to a devaluation of so-called “non-qualified” professionals, although experienced and present for a long time in the structures, while generating significant questions regarding the continuity of activity of micro-crèches. In many rural structures, the majority of agents are in fact considered “non-qualified” within the meaning of the decree and do not have the qualifications now required. These new constraints come into play in a context where structures are already experiencing great recruitment difficulties. The evolution towards a form of “medicalization of teams”, based in particular on the increased use of childcare assistants, is worrying particularly managers, who struggle to attract these profiles in rural areas. He wishes to know his intentions regarding the application of this decree in the countryside. He asks in particular whether a complete impact assessment has been carried out concerning the consequences of this decree on the provision of early childhood care in sparsely populated areas, both in terms of human resources and the economic viability of the structures. He would also like to know whether any relaxation measures, exemptions or specific support are envisaged in order to guarantee the continuity and quality of the early childhood care service in rural areas.

Mr. Bartolomé Lenoir questions the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial, Energy and Digital Sovereignty on the difficulties encountered by construction companies, particularly in rural areas, regarding processing and payment times for public invoices. Municipalities and intermunicipalities are encountering increasing difficulties in validating invoice submissions on the platform Chorus Pro. Significant deviations are noted in the validation times of these documents, mechanically leading to a continued lengthening of payment deadlines borne by companies. Once these validations have been carried out, payments are transmitted via the Hélios software, the operation of which has been experiencing malfunctions since the beginning of February 2026. This situation generates further delays before the intervention effectiveness of the DGFiP, further aggravating cash flow tensions. These repeated delays seriously weaken the financial situation of Creuse construction companies and also have worrying consequences on the mental health of their managers.

Mr. Bartolomé Lenoir draws the attention of the Minister of Health, Families, Autonomy and People with Disabilities to the particularly low number of junior doctors expected in the Creuse department from November 2026. While initial projections indicated the possible arrival of up to ten junior doctors, it now appears that only six junior doctors would be assigned to Creuse for this due date. This downward revision is causing concern in a region where medical shortages are a recurring problem. However, junior doctors, at the end of their university course, can practice independently, while being placed under the supervision of a senior doctor. In the Creuse department, fourteen general practitioners volunteered to act as internship supervisors, which demonstrates a reception capacity greater than the number of junior doctors announced. Welcoming junior doctors constitutes an essential lever to combat medical desertification, by offering them a first professional experience in a rural environment and increasing their chances of settling there permanently. Not fully utilizing this supervisory capacity represents a missed opportunity for access to care for the Creuse population. Also, he asks him to please specify the reasons for the low number of junior doctors assigned to Creuse, to indicate the criteria used for their territorial distribution and to specify what measures the Government intends to take in order to allow rural departments like Creuse to fully benefit from this system.

Mr. Bartolomé Lenoir draws the attention of the Minister of Transport to the announcement of the elimination of the Limoges-Marseille air link from October 25, 2025. For the departments of Limousin (Creuse and Haute-Vienne), among the most isolated in France, the disappearance of this link would constitute a real regression in terms of mobility and attractiveness. Since the cessation of direct flights between Limoges and Paris, residents must take the POLT railway line, the journey of which takes approximately 3 hours 30 minutes to reach the capital. To get to Marseille, they now have to transit through Paris, which represents a whole day of transport. The twice-weekly Limoges-Marseille connection is essential for the mobility of residents, for businesses, students, families, for local businesses needing rapid access to the South of France, for the attractiveness of the region (Creuse, Haute-Vienne), its capacity to maintain links with the metropolises, finally for the opening up of a rural territory whose transport infrastructures (roads, rail) are not very dense.

Mr. Bartolomé Lenoir draws the attention of the Minister of Labor, Health, Solidarity, Families, Autonomy and Disabled People to the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) in rural departments. Multiple sclerosis is a chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease of the central nervous system, the leading cause of non-traumatic disability in young adults. It is often diagnosed between the ages of 25 and 35 years old and progressing in spurts. The symptoms, sometimes invisible or confused with other conditions, delay the diagnosis and the implementation of treatments. Although available therapies can reduce the frequency and severity of flare-ups, they do not yet cure the disease. This pathology causes motor, sensory, balance and visual disorders, seriously affecting personal life, family and professional life of patients, often forcing them to cease their professional activity. In rural areas, care remains particularly difficult: access to SEP resource and skills centers (CRC-SEP) is restricted, requiring travel to the nearest university hospitals, such as that of Clermont-Ferrand for residents of Creuse. In addition, the specific rehabilitation offer (walking, swimming, maintenance of functional skills) is very limited, even though it constitutes an essential element for preserving the autonomy of patients. He therefore asks what measures she intends to implement to promote earlier diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, develop specialized care structures in rural departments, strengthen access to adapted rehabilitation and psychological support, better recognize the invisible disability from which patients suffer and finally support patient associations and their caregivers, essential players in support.

M. Bartolomé Lenoir attire l'attention de Mme la ministre des sports, de la jeunesse et de la vie associative sur les conséquences de la suppression des dispositifs d'aide à l'inscription sportive pour les enfants de 6 à 13 ans dans les territoires ruraux et en particulier dans le département de la Creuse. La suppression ou la restriction des « tickets sports » et du Pass'Sport pour cette tranche d'âge prive de nombreuses familles d'une aide pourtant modeste mais souvent indispensable pour permettre à leurs enfants d'accéder à une pratique sportive encadrée et un levier important de lutte contre la sédentarité des plus jeunes. Les clubs du département comme l'Entente sportive guérétoise, qui compte plus de 450 licenciés, accueillent chaque année plusieurs dizaines d'enfants issus de foyers modestes pour lesquels ces aides sont souvent la seule possibilité d'intégrer une structure associative. Les conséquences d'une telle réforme seront très concrètes : désinscriptions, renoncements à la pratique sportive, isolement accru, augmentation de la sédentarité et aggravation sur la santé physique et mentale des jeunes. Elles affaiblissent également un tissu associatif local déjà fragilisé par les crises successives qui repose en grande partie sur l'engagement bénévole. Dans un contexte où l'on encourage la pratique sportive pour des raisons de santé publique, de cohésion sociale et de prévention des dérives, une telle décision semble aller à contre-courant des objectifs affichés. Il souhaite donc savoir pour quelles raisons le Gouvernement a choisi de supprimer ces aides pour les 6-13 ans, quelles mesures sont prévues pour garantir l'accessibilité financière de la pratique sportive à toutes les familles, y compris dans les territoires ruraux et comment il entend soutenir les clubs locaux qui constatent déjà les premiers effets de cette réforme.

Mr. Bartolomé Lenoir alerts the Minister to the Minister of Labor, Health, Solidarity and Families, responsible for health and access to care, on the worrying consequences of the Government's decision to reduce the rebate ceiling applicable to generic medicines. In Creuse, as in the whole of Limousin, this discount constitutes an essential variable in the economic balance of pharmacies. According to the specialist accountants in the sector, the discount currently capped at 40% represents on average 11.24% of the overall gross margin and up to 30.10% of the gross operating surplus (EBE) of a pharmacy. In other words, this resource is vital to the survival of pharmacies, particularly those operating in rural areas, already weakened by medical desertification. Health professionals from Limousin, Corrèze, Haute-Vienne and Creuse and the presidents of the departmental unions, the Order of Pharmacists and the territorial professional health communities (CPTS) unanimously denounce a measure which, if applied, would jeopardize hundreds of jobs, further weaken access to care, promote shortages of medicines and could lead to the closure of a significant number of pharmacies. In a rural territory such as Creuse, where the pharmacy network sometimes constitutes the last accessible link in the health system, this reform would have catastrophic effects: it would directly threaten the local pharmaceutical network, worsen the health divide and accentuate inequalities in access to treatments. This decision is all the more incomprehensible given that the current system has made it possible to achieve a rate of substitution of generics above 85%, which directly contributes to health insurance savings. Also, he asks what are the real objectives pursued by this reform, while it calls into question an economic model which has proven itself both in terms of health and economics. He also asks what compensation is being considered by the Government to avoid the closure of rural pharmacies and preserve employment in these already fragile territories. Finally, he asks him if he intends to reconsider this decision, at a time when equal access to care should remain a national priority.

Mr. Bartolomé Lenoir draws the attention of the Minister to the Minister of Labor, Health, Solidarity and Families, responsible for health and access to care, on the care of residents suffering from Alzheimer's disease in EHPADs. France has around 1.2 million people suffering from Alzheimer's disease, a significant proportion of whom reside in EHPADs. This progressive neurodegenerative pathology requires specific support, both medical, psychological and human. However, numerous reports point to a persistent lack of trained personnel, an unsuitability of certain establishments for cognitive disorders and difficulties in accessing appropriate care. Despite the desire displayed by public authorities to improve support for people with neurocognitive disorders, families and professionals still deplore significant deficiencies: low ratios of caregivers, insufficient training in the specificities of the disease, lack of places in protected units, etc. Also, he would like to know the measures envisaged by the Government to strengthen the quality of care for residents suffering from Alzheimer's disease in EHPADs, in particular in terms of staff training, supervision of practices and adaptation of infrastructure. He also questions the budgetary and human resources mobilized to respond to the expected increase in the number of people concerned in the years to come.

Mr. Bartolomé Lenoir draws the attention of the Minister to the Minister of Labor, Health, Solidarity and Families, responsible for health and access to care, to the development of Lyme disease and tick-borne diseases (MVT), which represent a major public health issue. Each year, thousands of new cases are recorded in France and among them, a significant proportion of patients develop persistent symptoms after initial treatment, what is called “long Lyme” or PTLDS (Post Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome). Recently, the High Authority for Health (HAS) recognized the existence of this pathology, however, this recognition is accompanied by very limited measures in terms of care, leaving many patients without effective treatment. Additionally, current recommendations prevent physicians to prescribe potentially beneficial treatments under penalty of sanctions. This situation is worrying and risks worsening medical wandering among patients. At the same time, INSERM announced a drastic budget cut in funding for research into Lyme disease, reducing the initially planned budget of 10 million by 8 million euros. Such a decision compromises the development of essential studies to better understand this disease, improve its diagnosis and develop appropriate treatments. The MP asks the Minister when he intends to restore the initial budget of 10 million euros for research into Lyme disease, when this pathology represents a major public health issue and scientific advances are expected. If the long Lyme recently recognized by the HAS is a first step, he asks it what he intends to do to improve support for patients, public information, training of doctors and put in place measures to fully take this scourge into account.

Mr. Bartolomé Lenoir questions the Minister to the Minister of Regional Planning and Decentralization, responsible for transport, on the closure of the Guéret-Felletin railway line. This line closure will affect many small towns in the Creuse department. This road connects the prefecture and the single sub-prefecture of Creuse and more broadly allows the junction with the Limoges station, with the regional capital, Bordeaux, but also with the POLT line (Paris, Orléans, Limoges, Toulouse). If the future of small lines is threatened, the future of the territories is in danger. The state's disinterest is obvious. However, maintaining this railway line is vital for the economic and tourist development of the Creuse basin, for the movement of the population, the students of renowned educational establishments (Ahun agricultural high school, building trades high school of Felletin), the active people, all the users and with regard to tourism, for the service of the International Tapestry City of Aubusson. In addition, the timetables are not adapted to the needs of users and mean that filling the trains is not possible. Finally, the rail mode being the most carbon-free, replacing trains with buses as envisaged is not part of an ecological approach. The State has abandoned the countryside for too long and must reform itself in order to be able to generate investment capacity because that is what it is all about. He asks him what he intends to do to encourage rail transport, which is the most carbon-free mode of travel, and to engage the historic operator SNCF Réseau to perpetuate this structuring line, essential to the Creuse area.
