The doctors of Wallis and Futuna are subject to the disciplinary jurisdiction of the disciplinary chamber of first instance for doctors of the Ile-de-France region.
The dental surgeons of Wallis and Futuna are subject to the disciplinary jurisdiction of the disciplinary chamber of first instance for dental surgeons of the Ile-de-France region.
The midwives of Wallis and Futuna are subject to the disciplinary jurisdiction of the disciplinary chamber of first instance for midwives of the Ile-de-France region.
Until such time as a territorial council of the order of doctors, dental surgeons or midwives is set up for Wallis and Futuna, all practitioners of the profession in question practising in this overseas territory take part in the election of delegates from the Paris departmental councils to the regional council or inter-regional council of the Ile-de-France region of each of these three orders.
The regional council of the order or, in the case of midwives, the inter-regional council of the order competent for the territory of the Wallis and Futuna islands is the one competent for the Ile-de-France region. In addition, this council exercises the powers referred to in article L. 4124-11. It may decide to temporarily suspend the right to practise in the event of the professional’s infirmity or pathological condition making it dangerous to practise his profession. Its decisions must be substantiated.
The councils of the professional body in the territory of the Wallis and Futuna Islands, under the supervision of the national council, represent the profession in that territory. In the absence of such councils, this role is devolved to a doctor, dental surgeon or midwife appointed by the higher administrator of the territory of the Wallis and Futuna Islands after consultation with the national council of the professional body concerned.
