The regional prefect, designated by order of the Minister for Health, will issue the authorisation to practise provided for in article L. 4311-4, after obtaining the opinion of the Commission for Nurses, on the basis of an application accompanied by a file presented and examined in accordance with the procedures laid down by the order referred to in article R. 4311-37.
The Prefect acknowledges receipt of the application within one month of its receipt and, where appropriate, informs the applicant within the same period of any missing documents and information.
If the Regional Prefect does not respond within four months of receiving the complete application, this will be deemed to constitute a decision to reject the application.
