Mayenne deputies Guillaume Garot and Yannick Favennec will go all the way. The two presented this Friday afternoon in Martigné-sur-Mayenne, in Nord-Mayenne, the eight amendments which will be defended in the National Assembly this Monday with their cross-party group to fight against medical desertification in France. These amendments will be debated in the context of the fourth part of the social security financing bill.
Establish regulation of the installation of doctors
At the heart of these amendments, the 120 co-signers of these amendments, coming from several political sides, from the Republicans to France Insoumise, via Renaissance, want establish regulation of the installation of doctors in under-resourced territories, like that of Mayenne. Concretely, these are in fact five major themes that will be defended at the Assembly, if 49.3 does not go through this.
A fourth year of compulsory internship in an under-resourced territory
A first on the administrative installation authorization. Today, if a doctor wants to set up in an over-resourced area, such as the South of France, the Regional Health Agency and the Order of Physicians must give the green light. There, it would become an obligation to settle in an area under endowed, given by these two organizations. In the same order, MEPs defend a selective agreementthat is to say that the Health Insurance must push the general practitioner or specialist to settle in an under-endowed area via an agreement.
Then, an amendment concerns on the fourth year of medical internship. MEPs want that it must be done in a territory where there are fewer practitionersUnlike in what the government is offering
but with a higher remuneration, equal to that of a medical assistant. “A step forward”, according to the two deputies. Penultimate subject addressed in the eight amendments, that of the permanence of care. The cross-party group will defend a mandatory presence of a doctor on the phone all the time, also a way to unclog emergencies according to Guillaume Garot and Yannick Favennec. “We must return to an obligation of permanence of care, guaranteed at the scale of a territory”adds the deputies PS and Horizons.
And then last point, that of foreign doctors who practice with an unrecognized diploma. MEPs want the recognition of their diploma is faster in France and that they can practice in a town practice. Start of debates on the fourth part of the articles of the social security financing bill on Monday in the Assembly.
