The French government wants to merge the Carte Vitale with the national ID card. The new card will allow people to access their medical records.

It is not known how many of the old cards are still in circulation. The French government has not set a deadline for the new card to be issued. It will be reviewed by the National Commission for Informatics and Liberties (CNIL) to see if it is necessary to combine the two cards. The CNIL will also look at the security of the information on the card.
