I.-The authorisations referred to in 4° of Article L. 6133-1 are the authorisations for healthcare activities and heavy equipment listed in Articles R. 6122-25 and R. 6122-26 respectively and issued by the Director General of the Regional Health Agency.
II – The joint operation of authorisations for healthcare activities or heavy equipment by the consortium is carried out on a single geographical site. The joint operation of healthcare activity authorisations may relate to all or part of a healthcare activity authorised under the provisions of Title II of Book I of Part Six of this Code. In the case of hospitalisation at home, the single geographical site corresponds to the single geographical area of intervention.
III – When the grouping’s joint use of authorisations for healthcare activities or heavy equipment, held by one or more of its members, leads to a change in the conditions under which the authorisations are used, each member concerned sends the Director General of the Regional Health Agency a request for a change in the authorisations used jointly, at the same time as the request for approval of the grouping’s founding agreement or amendment. Where the group is authorised to bill for care on behalf of its members, this application for amendment is accompanied by a proposal for the scale of charges applicable to the group, as mentioned in the agreement setting up the group, in accordance with the procedure laid down in article R. 6133-21.
IV – The decision to amend the authorisation(s) operated by the grouping and held by one or more separate holders who are members of the grouping specifies the terms and conditions of the joint operation, as well as the authorised operating site. It may include conditions relating to the commitment to implement the cooperation measures provided for in the second paragraph of article L. 6122-7. When the grouping operates authorisations held by several members of the grouping for the same healthcare activity or the same heavy equipment, the compliance visit provided for in article L. 6122-4 is a single visit.
