The verdict was expected. Monday, April 24, the former inspector of social affairs Annick Morel announced her decision to the six unions of liberal doctors. And the conclusion is not what they expected. In the fall, consultations will increase by 1.50 euro – i.e. 26.50 euros for general practitioners and 31.50 euros for specialistsexcluding excess fees.
An announcement approved by the Minister of Health, François Braun, who indicated in a press release that he “will approve in the coming days” this text comprising “important advances for the improvement of the health of the French”. For the unions, the proposal is well below the 30 to 50 euros minimum demanded during several strikes and demonstrations.
Easing Financial Aid for Physician Assistants
Even if the government pushed in this direction, the former inspector of social affairs announced that she had retained “no revaluation subject to a territorial commitment”. Another measure has been adopted, that of “expanding and making more flexible” financial aid for the recruitment of medical assistants. This will apply immediately, as will the creation of a new act at 60 euros for the first consultation of a chronically ill person without a treating doctor. Moreover, the annual bonus paid for the follow-up of these patients “in long-term illness” will be raised from 42 to 46 euros, or almost 10%.
Finally, Annick Morel has also chosen to “perpetuate” the incentives intended for liberals who participate in the telephone “regulation” of the Samu (100 euros per hour) and to receive patients within 48 hours (with an increase of 15 euros).
