In the interests of the service, a contractual practitioner who is the subject of disciplinary proceedings may be suspended, after receiving the opinion of the chairman of the establishment’s medical committee, by decision of the director of the establishment, who shall immediately inform the director general of the regional health agency.
During the period of suspension, the person concerned retains the benefit of the emoluments mentioned in 1° of article R. 6152-355. However, where a court decision prohibits him from practising, these emoluments are subject to a deduction which may not exceed half their amount.
At the end of the disciplinary procedure or when no decision has been taken within five months of the suspension decision, the suspension ends and the person concerned once again receives his full emoluments. However, where the person concerned is the subject of criminal proceedings, his situation shall not be definitively settled until the decision handed down by the court hearing the case has become final.
If the person concerned has not been sanctioned or has only been given a warning or reprimand, he shall be entitled to reimbursement of the deductions made from his emoluments.
