If the right came back to the Elysee, the gross remuneration of general practitioners could jump by 20%. Upstream of its displacement on the theme of health in Oyonnax (Ain), Friday, January 28, Valérie Pécresse has granted An interview on the daily doctor , In which the Candidate of LR proposes to pass the basic tariff of a consultation at the general practitioner of 25 to 30 euros.
The amount of this package has not changed since 1 May 2017. For M me Pécresse, stay at this level is a “madness”. The revaluation would be “of course without impact for the remainder of the patients”, says the contendant to the Elysee. The specialists would also be better treated: “The tariff of technical acts has not moved for nearly fifteen years, according to the candidate. How can one liberal surgeon be paid 170 euros for an appendicitis?” She also wants “More remunerate the consultations carried out urgently”.
Priority to mental health
This interview with the daily doctor gives the opportunity in Valérie Pécresse to detail his “three great causes” of health. First, “mental health”, especially that of adolescents, with a “priority to destigating and research” and the creation of a “National Institute of Mental Health”. Then, the fight against pediatric cancers, with in case of hospitalization the creation of leave for parents, who would keep their salary. Finally, the health of women, for which M me peclères considers mother-child consultations and a 2.1% VAT on periodic protections – compared to 5.5% currently.
“Our health system is leached, not of the two but of the ten years that have just passed, with an unprecedented impoverishment of the hospital”, deplore the candidate of LR, who promises to “doubling the number trained caregivers “with” nearly 20,000 new doctors formed per year, by the end of the five-year “, and repeats his idea of” a year of additional training “for the generalists,” who will be exercised in the houses health “and will conceer” 3,800 young doctors “. “There is no more consultation, hospital care or emergency service less than thirty minutes from home”, “adds Valérie Pécresse, which counts” divide by two “the average waiting time for a medical appointment .
A “Quality Indicator” of EHPAD
To make their attractiveness in the health professions, Valérie Pécresse promises “a new stage of hospital autonomy” to “entrust large responsibilities” to doctors department heads. It also pleads for an Alliance State-Communities to “provide concrete solutions for housing, transportation, cribs or security”. According to her, he also needed the redemption of RTT days (reduction of working time) to “restore purchasing power to caregivers”, and retain an aggravating circumstance in case of aggression against health professionals.
Finally, the revelations of the book the graves, journalist Victor Castanet, who critically involve the quality of service in the ORPEA group EHPAD – and which Le Monde published excerpts – have also reacted the candidate . It proposes a “compulsory repository to which any institution, public or private, will have to submit”. It will encompass “the functions of everyday life, the quality of food and care, the condition of the rooms, the time spent on each resident, the freedom left to visits …”, will be made public and will give rise to controls . “The EHPADs who will not respect them will be closed, Threat Valérie Pécresse, and those who make the profit before their mission and affect human dignity will be continued.”
