If, through their own actions, the members of the National Council make it impossible for it to function, its dissolution shall be ordered by decree issued on the proposal of the Minister responsible for health.
If the National Council is dissolved or if all its members resign, the Minister for Health appoints a delegation of five members. This delegation organises the election of a new council without delay. It settles day-to-day business, carries out the functions assigned to the council by article L. 4113-14 and II of article L. 4124-11 and rules on appeals against decisions of the departmental councils in application of the code of ethics.
