If the number of relay doctors on the list appears to be insufficient, the Director General of the Regional Health Agency may appoint a relay doctor from the list drawn up in another département, unless he/she refuses.
Failing this, he will designate, with the approval of the public prosecutor at the court of appeal, for a period of no more than one year, a doctor who meets the conditions defined in article R. 3413-2, after first obtaining his agreement.
In the cases referred to in articles R. 3413-4 and R. 3413-5 and if he is unable to attend, the Director General of the Regional Health Agency shall appoint another relay doctor.
