Slowing down sick leave during teleconsultation. Through the Social Security financing bill, the Government intends to prohibit the prescription of sick leave of more than three days through teleconsultation. “There are doctors who can prescribe three or four times more than their colleagues” justified this Thursday morning Franceinfo The Minister of Health, Aurélien Rousseau, moderated his statements by evoking “abuse of minorities.”
“In good faith”
Aurélien Rousseau assures, however, that he does not want to “stigmatize” certain doctors. The latter are faced with the situation of society as it is, so we must also ask ourselves questions about the relationship with the world of work, about the difficulty,” he continued. Furthermore, no “financial sanction” is imposed on professionals affected. “There is dialogue with the Health Insurance, [même] if sometimes it is taken as a sanction,” the minister stressed.
For the minister, “when you have someone in front of you who tells you that his back hurts, that in the morning he wakes up crying […]”You are a doctor and you want to treat,” so “you can opt out.”
