Catherine Vautrin marked her preference this Tuesday, February 11 for a single law at the end of life, which “allows to face palliative care and the end of life”, where, until then, François Bayrou wishes to divide it into two. “While I speak to him, the prime minister wishes two text messages,” but “he is not yet completely arbitrated,” and “Elysée is in a text,” said the Minister of Health in France Inter.
For Catherine Vautrin, “a single text allows you to vote in a complete set”, while with “two texts, clearly, those who do not want the end of life will vote against this text.” “The initial text has the merit of clarity towards our fellow citizens,” he also considered.
An exam before the end of June?
Remembering that he covered “palliative care and end of life” and that she had pledged to increase credits on palliative care, the minister emphasized that “at the Social Security financing bill currently under discussion, there are 100 million more to open 15 palliative care services “.
In our country, 22 departments do not have palliative care units, and “the goal is in 2025, we have 15 more,” he said. As for the calendar for a resumption of debates at the end of life, Catherine Vautrin said that he had discussed it “no later than yesterday with the minister in charge of relations with Parliament and, normally, we must discuss this text before the end of the end of the ordinary session, that is, before June 30. “
“There are 162 new deputies in the National Assembly, it is a text in which there is no group discipline, I don’t know what the destiny of this text will be,” he still slipped.
The prime minister confirmed at the end of January that he wanted to divide the project, to distinguish the “two themes”, so that everyone can vote “differently” in one and the other. “We are touching something that is due (…) to life and in the sense of life,” François Bayrou, a practical Catholic but always positioned for the strict separation of politics and religious developed.
The minister responsible for health and access to care with Catherine Vautrin, Yannick Neuder supported the will of François Bayrou, unlike the latter.
The “Les 184” association, which brings together the participants in the Citizen Convention at the end of life, asked Emmanuel Macron in early February to decide, reminding him of his commitment to a single law.
