PPL GAROT: a disaster that looks
The CNOM deeply regrets the adoption at first reading of article 1 of the GAROT bill (PPL GAROT), establishing a regulation in the installation of doctors.
The National Assembly adopted, in early April, article 1 of the GAROT PPL providing for creating an installation authorization issued by regional health agencies (ARS) for general practitioners, specialists, liberals and employees. Dr. François Arnault, president of the CNOM, rebelled against this vote in His editorial of the last Bulletin of the Order, of which here is an extract:
“We owe to the unreasonable obstinacy of a deputy the vote of a coercion law removing freedom of installation to doctors. Once again, deputies, locked in their certainty that the demographic disaster of 95 % of the French territory is attributable only to doctors who refuse to settle in the under-dense areas, have found a majority to force doctors. It is therefore the ARS that will distribute the shortage. Construct who to go where? In the cities where there are no more doctors, in the countryside where public services have already closed their doors. Parliamentarians will be responsible for the disaster that promises to be. »»
The CNOM had already expressed its firm opposition to this measure in a common press release, published in March with trade union organizations and representative of doctors. “The trade union organizations and representatives of the doctors refuse that the medical community is sanctioned for a shortage which it also suffers and call to find a” crossing route “likely to bring together doctors, patients and their representatives in their fight for better access to care,” said the press release.
