The holder of the authorisation for category D ensures, on a permanent basis, in conjunction with the emergency medical assistance service mentioned in article R. 6123-1, the diagnosis and treatment of patients likely to benefit from this activity.
This round-the-clock service may be shared by several authorised sites, in accordance with the procedures for organising access to care defined in the regional health plan. In this case, an agreement is drawn up between the authorisation holders to specify the organisational arrangements. If the sites belong to the same authorisation holder, this duty is formally organised internally.
The authorisation holder is a member of the emergency care network provided for in article R. 6123-26 under the conditions set out in the agreement establishing this network.
