At its inaugural meeting, the plenary session of the Regional Conference on Health and Independence elects its chair and sets up the standing committee and specialised committees referred to in article D. 1432-31.
When it comes up for renewal, the Regional Health and Autonomy Conference is chaired by the oldest member.
Each of these bodies elects a chair and a vice-chair, with the exception of the standing committee, which is chaired by the chair of the regional health and independence conference.
