The aim of this article is to identify the main breakpoints liable to impact on the development of healthcare provision in France. The argument presented is based on the views of several health experts brought together as part of a working group chaired by the authors. The problems raised concern the nature of the patient–doctor relationship, the organisational characteristics of healthcare provision, the place occupied by protocol in medical practice, and the position of healthcare players in the value chain.
