The National Health Insurance Fund (CNAM) will have to cut 3,600 positions by 2022 as per an agreement negotiated with the State, says an internal note of the CNAM which Le Figaro has seen. The total workforce of this branch of the Social Security should thus go from 64,806 to 61,200 full-time equivalents between 2018 and 2022.
