I. – In each permanent care service territory, the doctors mentioned in article R. 6315-1 who volunteer to take part in this service and the permanent care service associations draw up the duty roster for a minimum period of three months.
This schedule specifies the name, procedure and location of each doctor. It is sent to the relevant Conseil Départemental de l’Ordre des Médecins no later than forty-five days before it is implemented. The Conseil départemental de l’ordre des médecins verifies that the doctors concerned are legally entitled to practise and, if necessary, notes the absence or shortage of volunteer doctors.
Any changes to this list are communicated to the departmental council as soon as possible.
II – If the doctor works within the framework of an association for on-call care, the association will provide the Departmental Council with a regularly updated list of the names of the doctors who are likely to take part in this on-call care on behalf of the association. Within a maximum period of one month following the end of the implementation of the on-call roster, the association sends the departmental council the list of the names, by time slot, of the doctors who have actually provided on-call care in the territory.
At least ten days before it is implemented, the list is sent by the departmental council to the director general of the regional health agency, to the prefect of the department or, in Paris, to the police prefect, to the emergency medical services, to the doctors and associations providing on-call care concerned and to the health insurance funds. Any changes to the duty roster made after this transmission are communicated again as soon as possible.
An army doctor, under whose authority one of the medical centres located within the remit of the regional health agency is placed, is designated by the Minister of Defence as the contact person for the army health service with the director general of this agency and the departmental councils of the order of doctors in the region for outpatient duty.
In each sector where army doctors are involved, he helps to draw up the list referred to in the first paragraph and informs the departmental medical association councils of their individual situation.
