Federation des Syndicats Pharmaceutiques de France (FSPF) has confirmed the information of Paris that the government has instructed the General Inspectorate of Social Affairs (IGAS) a survey on the economic situation pharmacies.
In a letter to the Igas which AFP has obtained a copy, the Health Minister, Xavier Bertrand, considers that the difficulties currently facing the sector are due to "changes in economic conditions, marked by greater mastery of reimbursable health products." According to him, this situation reflects the need "to make the profession less directly and solely dependent on the dynamics of these expenses." To do this, pharmacists could be paid for such "public service missions."
Decided, it seems, to reform the profession, the Health Minister has asked to formulate Igas tracks for a "Change payment method" of reimbursable drugs to substitute for the "sliding scale margin smoothed 'established in 2000 on reimbursable drugs to mitigate the impact of higher prices and volumes of these products.
It appears, according to Philippe Gaertner, president of the FSPF that these prices and volumes each year due to declining saving policies in the health field before reporting: "We went from 2.8 billion cans of reimbursable drugs sold late 2005 to 2,580,000,000 in late 2010. We are penalized for something that no longer exists and we find facing major challenges which we are trying to alert the past three years. "
report describes the state of play of the profession, Philippe Gaertner reveals that the number of pharmacies has been a backup, reorganization or liquidation in 2010 stood at 200-220 against a quarantine in 2006.
Glad the difficulties of the profession are finally taken into account, he tells Le Parisien: "What worries us very hard is the rapid degradation of the situation. Saving policies on health spending carried out since 2005 are now breaking down the metal shutters as ever. (...) In two years, a pharmacy in a hundred who disappeared in France. "
According FSPF, diversification of activities of pharmacists, such as selling products parapharmaceutical was not enough to stem the crisis since the bulk of their business is and remains the drug, up to 83% .
Igas The report is due April 30 with an imperative size: its recommendations are not to generate "extra costs for insurance disease ".
http://www.mutuelle-land.com/actualite-mutuelle/sante-les-pharmaciens-ne-sont-plus-a-la-fete_13826.html This is not about to improve . I am with my girlfriend pharmacy always warns me of any problems it encounters either in specifications or in cases of abuse (one patient taking the ventolin asthma as other smarties) but I know a drugstore in the corner that needs morfler: a physician currently prohibited from practicing in the same village, prescribed to all his patients a little chubby Seroplex-Valium cocktail-pick. And he made orders 20 products in stride. And when the patients complained of side effects, he adds of drugs without removing a single order base.
So I thought for a pharmacy that has had to lower its turnover by at least half. And with hardships in reimbursements that should not improve. "The seven fat cows are finished, it is the lean season".
And if they are switching?
