Subsection 2: Issue of the licence to practise.

I.-The Director General of the Centre national de gestion, on behalf of the Minister for Health, will issue the authorisation to practise provided for in article L. 4221-12, where applicable in the speciality, after obtaining the opinion of the commission. II – The application, accompanied by a file containing the documents specified by order of the Minister for Health, is sent to the National Management Centre mentioned in article L….

The practice authorisation committee assesses candidates’ competence, in particular in the light of the assessment report drawn up by the head of the organisation in which the successful candidate completed the skills consolidation programme. The committee may invite candidates to attend a hearing. The assessment procedures for the skills consolidation programme are laid down by order of the Minister for Health.

The committee’s opinions are reasoned. In the event of an unfavourable opinion, the committee may propose extending the skills consolidation programme.
