The MP for the 2nd district returns to the so-called Valletoux bill on access to care and adopted last Friday.

MP David Taupiac regrets in a press release that reached our editorial staff a “missed opportunity to act sustainably in the direction of a territorial balance in the supply of care”. Member since the beginning of his term of office of a cross-partisan group fighting against medical deserts, MP Taupiac underlines the “shortcomings of a superficial text which will not allow lasting action to be taken on the structural problems of access to care, in particular in rural areas “.

What is at stake is territorial equity in access to care, not to mention the phenomena of excess fees or nonconvention of certain doctors that we are beginning to observe, including in the Gers. the government is studying our proposals, whether concerning the regulation of installation, the opening of a health high school or the obligation of permanent care”, declared David Taupiac.
