This October 13, Emmanuel Macron invited the macronist deputies of the Social Affairs Committee to breakfast at the Elysée. The Head of State takes notes by listening to Fadila Khattabi, President (Renaissance) of the Commission, affirm that there is an urgency to “send a strong signal towards our elders – especially after the Orpea scandal. We would like to legislate Based on the work from our ranks in the National Assembly, for a long time on the table “. “You’re right !, Assists Emmanuel Macron. Go ahead!”
The instruction has just succeeded. The presidents of the three groups of the majority, Renaissance Modem and Horizons, tabled, Wednesday, December 7, a bill “aimed at building the company of well-old in France”. The text is co -signed by several macronist deputies including M me khattabi.
By taking the initiative to put a great age law on the profession, the majority attempts to make us forget Mr. Macron’s unwinding promise to carry a great law on dependence under his first five -year term. Several law proposals, tabled by the majority in 2021, had been put under the bushel in the hope of a “big evening” which did not take place. No more question, therefore, to remain the weapon in the foot.
“A rich and multidimensional text”
“Our desire was good to bring a bill from the start of the second five-year term”, confides Annie Vidal, deputy (Renaissance) of Seine-Maritime, instigator and working ankle of the bill “aging well”. M my vidal and Khattabi quickly agreed to submit the proposals of law that remained dead to make a synthesis on the profession. Here they are recycled in the text deposited on December 7.
Its main themes are the prevention of loss of autonomy, the fight against mistreatment, the cost of stays in nursing homes. “We have resulted in a rich and multidimensional text”, welcomes Astrid Panosyan-Bouvet, MP (Renaissance) of Paris, responsible for coordinating the editorial staff.
Jean-Christophe Combe, Minister of Solidarity, Autonomy and People with Disabilities, was involved in the content of the text which has just been deposited. This “parliamentary initiative is welcome. It creates a dynamic and shows that the subject of well-old is a priority of the majority and that it has worked there,” he welcomes.
The text provides him with an ideal landing ground to translate into action the proposals of the National Refoundation Council (CNR) devoted to “well-old” which ends in May. “The proposals that emerge from the CNR will be able to enrich the bill, he predict. The examination of the text could begin in the National Assembly from the beginning of 2023.” Work in social affairs committee is planned for February.
