higher consider public spending by calculating “avoided costs” | EUROtoday

A “disaster predicted”of the “loss of luck” and “indirect costs” in tens of billions of euros: such is the awful evaluation of a parliamentary fee of inquiry into “the failures of public policies to support mental health and disability, and the costs of these failures for society”whose report should be introduced on Wednesday December 17 after ten weeks of hearings and area visits.

Launched by the socialist group of the National Assembly, this fee introduced collectively these two distinct themes as a result of “the finding of deficiency was consistent in the difficulties of access to care and support”explains the rapporteur, Sébastien Saint-Pasteur (Socialist Party, Gironde). The wants of the inhabitants are growing sharply, whereas care stays steady or is deteriorating, notably as a consequence of lack of personnel, which ends up in a “scissor effect” with a decline within the high quality of care, administrative obstacles or rights not revered.

“In both sectors, we have systems that are not always readable, accessible or linked to each other. Sometimes, these are experiments linked to calls for projects, not always evaluated or sustained”provides the president of the fee of inquiry, Nicole Dubré-Chirat. The Renaissance MP for Maine-et-Loire had already made an analogous commentary in a report on psychiatric emergencies, revealed on the finish of 2024.
