The regular practice of medicine, in any form whatsoever, within a State administration, a local authority or a public establishment must be the subject of a written contract, except in cases where the doctor is a permanent employee of the State, a local authority or a public establishment, as well as cases where he is governed by legislative or regulatory provisions which do not provide for the conclusion of a contract.
The doctor is obliged to communicate this contract to the competent body of the Ordre des Médecins. Any observations that this body may have to make are sent by it to the administrative authority concerned and to the doctor concerned.
