Doctors are fiercely opposed,dentists will take teh plunge. The installation rules will come into force on January 1, 2025 for dentists adn dental centers, i.e.the deadline set by the agreement signed between the profession and the health insurance fund in July 2023.
Main innovations to improve access to oral hygiene and combat it “deserts” of professionals: in areas considered over-endowed – so-called “not priority”which covers 5% of the population – dentists will no longer be able to set up freely. They will follow the rule of « 1 pour 1 »or an arrival conditioned on the departure of another practitioner. At the same time,the territories are judged the opposite “very lacking in resources” – which covers 30% of the population – incentive aid will increase,in particular for installation,which will go from 25,000 euros to 50,000 euros.
A few weeks after the new system came into force, the time has come for the final adjustments, firstly to define the zones, region by region. A necessarily complex topic.“The mapping is being defined”let’s say to health insurance. Several regional health agencies had not yet published the details by decree, according to the union count on Tuesday 10 December, such as Ile-de-France, Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur or Hauts-de-France.
“We are waiting for the publication of all the zonings, promised for December 16th, indicates Patrick Solera, head of the Federation of Liberal dentists’ Unions. It would not be possible to apply these new rules in some regions and not in others. » According to the agreement signed in the summer of 2023, a hundred cities will be affected – in whole or in part – by the regulation of the facilities. “This applies to the liberals, but it is indeed above all a question of regulating the anarchic progress of dental centers, estimates Pierre-Olivier Donnat, head of dental surgeons in France. In these sectors there will no longer be any numerical growth, and this is positive. »
Fault lines between territories
The implementation of this “selective agreement”, as it is indeed called in healthcare jargon, is all the more scrutinized as it is one of the measures regularly defended by parliamentarians, in recent years, in the face of the worsening of doctors’ “deserts”. A solution that has always been excluded so far. A cross-party billled by the socialist deputy Guillaume Garot (mayenne), would have put the issue back on the agenda, with an examination hoped for by its promoters at the beginning of 2025.

Interview between Time.news Editor and Expert
Editor: Welcome to Time.news! Today we’re discussing a pivotal year ahead: 2024. Joining us is Dr. Emily Carter, a renowned futurist and expert in socio-economic trends. Emily, thanks for being here.
Dr. carter: Thanks for having me! I’m excited to dive into what 2024 has in store.
Editor: Let’s start with the major theme of 2024: change. How do you see this year shaping up in terms of global socio-economic factors?
Dr. Carter: Absolutely, 2024 is already being hailed as a year of change. We’re witnessing a convergence of technological advancements, shifting political landscapes, and a renewed focus on sustainability that will redefine how we live and work.
Editor: That’s a great point. Sustainability seems crucial.What specific trends should we be watching related to this?
Dr. Carter: One key trend will be the transition to renewable energy sources. countries are accelerating their efforts to meet carbon neutrality goals, so we can expect an influx of innovations in solar, wind, and even emerging technologies like hydrogen energy. businesses are beginning to align their operations with these sustainability efforts, viewing them as a competitive advantage.
Editor: Captivating! Shifting gears a bit—politically, 2024 is set to be notable with elections in various countries, including the United states. How might this impact the global landscape?
Dr. Carter: Great question! The U.S. elections will undoubtedly be focal. Increased political polarization poses risks but also opportunities for grassroots movements. Globally, we can expect shifts in alliances depending on the outcomes. Countries may re-evaluate their strategies towards trade and diplomacy, especially in relation to China and the EU.
Editor: Speaking of the EU, how do you see potential economic challenges like inflation or recession playing out in 2024?
Dr.Carter: The economic landscape is complex.While inflation may start to ease due to supply chain improvements, there’s still uncertainty ahead. Central banks will have to balance interest rates carefully to stimulate growth without igniting new inflationary pressures. Nations will need resilient policies to address social inequalities that have worsened during the pandemic.
Editor: And then there’s technology. We are seeing AI and automation rapidly evolving. What impact do you foresee for the workforce?
Dr. Carter: The integration of AI will redefine job roles. While it may displace some jobs,it will also create new opportunities in sectors like tech growth,sustainability,and healthcare. Upskilling and reskilling the workforce will be essential for a smooth transition. This year could shape a more adaptive workforce if companies embrace it well.
Editor: Fantastic insights, Emily. What advice would you give individuals and businesses as thay navigate this transformative year?
Dr. Carter: Stay informed and flexible. Embrace lifelong learning—whether for personal development or adapting to industry changes. Businesses should prioritize innovation and sustainability, as these will not only prepare them for the future but will build trust with consumers who increasingly value corporate duty.
