In forceNotwithstanding articles L. 6144-1, L. 6144-2 and L. 6146-9, the director of the institution may decide, on a joint proposal from the chairmen of the institutional medical committee and the nursing, rehabilitation and medical-technical committee, after consulting the supervisory board, to set up a medical-care committee to replace these two committees.
This decision must first receive the assent of the institutional medical committee and the nursing, rehabilitation and medical-technical committee.
The medical and nursing committee replaces the institutional medical committee and the nursing, re-education and medical-technical committee with regard to the competencies respectively attributed to them by the present code.
The medical and nursing committee elects its chairman from among the representatives of the medical, odontological, midwifery and pharmaceutical staff. The general care coordinator is the vice-chairman.
The chairman and vice-chairman of the medical and nursing committee respectively assume the responsibilities assigned by this code to the chairman of the hospital medical committee and the chairman of the nursing, rehabilitation and medical-technical committee.
The composition and operating rules of the medical and nursing committee are set by the hospital's internal regulations. All medical and paramedical professions are equitably represented on the medico-soignante committee.
The medico-soignante committee is dissolved, after informing the supervisory board, by decision of the director of the institution if he observes failures or malfunctions in the implementation of the system or, where applicable, at the request of the majority of the members of the committee representing medical, odontological, midwifery and pharmaceutical staff or the majority of the members of the committee representing nursing, rehabilitation and medico-technical staff.
