At the request of the Senate's Social Affairs Committee, and following a suggestion from the Citizens'
Participation Platform, the Cour des comptes has analysed the public aid available to private practice
doctors for setting up practice in, or practicing in, areas identified as priorities by the public authorities.
The Cour examined these aid schemes and sought to measure their effects in the light of the objectives they pursue. The period under review runs from 2016 to 2023, as some of these measures are multiannual and their effects are expected to last for some time.
