A month following setting down his boxes on Avenue de Ségur, the new Minister for Health, Frédéric Valletoux, has not deviated from the tone that characterized him at the head of the French Hospital Federation for a decade, just as he did there. a few more months, on the benches of the Assembly as deputy of the majority (Horizons, Seine-et-Marne). A frankness, tinged with a form of relaxation, which he maintains even when it comes to discussing the most sensitive subjects. And that he assumes: questioned on Franceinfo, March 8, on the prospects for savings on chronically ill people, these 13 million French people suffering from a long-term condition, he defended a « discussion » has “open casually”.
The expression may have offended both patients and caregivers. “It is not shocking that we are re-examining a system that has been frozen for more than forty years”he maintains with the Mondespecifying at the same time “that there is obviously no question of providing less good support to these patients faced with chronic pathologies”.
Several times approached for the position, Frédéric Valletoux – placed with three other delegated ministers under the supervision of Catherine Vautrin, who oversees health, work and solidarity – displays his method from the outset, in the face of a sector in crisis, at the hospital as in community medicine. He does not promise major reforms, nor does he commit to a « plan Marshall » demanded by certain healthcare unions, or on a “big legislative evening”. “We no longer have time, we need transformations which can take place through other routes, we have the tools”he believes, announcing two important meetings for the month of May: a National Council for the Refoundation on Mental Health and the organization of a Pediatric Conference, with the launch of a “big plan for child health” at this same deadline. Subjects on which the government has already committed itself on numerous occasions.
” Declaration of war “
Its credo: move forward through regulatory channels. “Many devices remain stuck in the drawers of the ministry, we must be able to speed up by issuing the implementing decrees”, he insists. And to cite the ongoing rewriting of the text generalizing the practice of voluntary termination of instrumental pregnancy by midwives, or the decrees resulting from the Rist laws, on the “delegation of tasks” between doctors and paramedics. A lever on which the government relies to fight once morest medical deserts.
