This is one of the novelties that the Social Security budget for 2023 could introduce. Presented Monday in the Council of Ministers, the text includes a measure of "regulation of interim" aimed at young caregivers "out of school", who will first have to exercise as an employee or as a liberal “for a minimum period”.
The government thus intends to tackle a booming practice, the cost of which jumped from 500 million euros in 2013 to more than 1.4 billion in 2018, weighing down hospital accounts by the same amount while "destabilizing the teams” of care, indicates the Ministry of Health.
According to the draft law consulted by AFP, temporary work companies will no longer be able, from January 1, to provide health establishments with new caregivers.
They will have to ensure that the doctors, dentists, pharmacists, midwives and other health professionals, the list of which will be fixed by decree, have already “exercised their activity in another setting (…) for a minimum period”.
A minimum duration that remains to be negotiated
“This duration will be negotiated”, specifies the ministry, which makes this restriction an “ethical issue”, in the same way as the framing of the tariffs of the medical interim.
Enshrined in law for almost seven years, this cap on remuneration is still not applied, despite a new text voted in 2021. "The Covid context did not allow us to deploy this measure", justifies the minister's office François Braun, who promises to quickly put the subject back on the table.
The health component of the National Council for Refoundation, which will be launched on October 3, will thus “aim to support the effective application” of these maximum tariffs.
