衛福部長石崇良表示,若青少年具備理解心理諮商的能力,且符合最大利益原則,不一定要強制家長陪同。
民眾連署要求放寬青少年身心科就醫限制,建議16歲以上可自行接受初步評估及諮詢。衛福部長石崇良表示,心理諮商可依青少年理解能力及最大利益彈性處理;若家庭支持不足,應引入社會資源。
有民眾在公共政策網路參與平台發起連署,建議檢討未成年人接受身心科就醫時需家長陪同或同意的規定,建立更具彈性的青少年心理健康就醫制度,並建議一定年齡以上青少年,例如16歲以上,可自行接受身心科初步評估及諮詢。該案已於9月26日通過連署門檻。
衛福部長石崇良表示,過去未成年人就醫,多希望由家長陪同,一方面可協助提供完整病史及相關資訊,也有助後續診斷、治療及共同決策,讓家長了解需要配合的事項。不過,隨著社會越來越重視青少年心理健康,部分青少年可能因不希望家長知道,或擔心家庭因素而延誤甚至拒絕就醫,因此相關制度也需要思考如何增加彈性。
石崇良指出,目前衛福部就心理諮商部分,已有相關規範可依實際情況判斷,若青少年本身具備理解諮商內容及過程的能力,且以當事人最大利益為前提,不一定要強制要求家長陪同才能進行。
不過,若後續評估發現青少年可能涉及精神疾病,需要進一步轉介、治療或使用藥物,石崇良表示,就需要與家庭進一步溝通,同時仍應以當事人的最大利益為核心,衡量家人的支持程度。
另一方面,隨著台灣進入超高齡社會,在宅醫療也逐漸成為新的醫療需求。衛福部推動「全民健康保險在宅急症照護試辦計畫」,近年已有國內5大壽險業者響應,並向金管會申請或推出與在宅醫療相關的保險商品。
對此,石崇良表示,過去保險業者多將「住院」視為醫療保險的重要給付條件,但隨著超高齡社會來臨,家庭醫療、在宅照護逐漸成為趨勢,保險業者也開始理解醫療型態正在改變,並嘗試將在宅醫療納入保單設計。
他認為,保險業者願意因應在宅醫療發展推出相關商品,是一個好的現象,衛福部也會持續與保險業者合作,提供相關數據及試算資料,協助業者開發符合未來醫療需求的新型態保單。
