Hospital practitioners in an active position in a public health establishment may, with their agreement and while remaining in this statutory position, be made available either to an establishment mentioned in article R. 6152-1, a State administration or public establishment, a local authority or a public establishment dependent on it, a public interest grouping falling within one of the cases provided for in article L. 6134-1 or a health cooperation grouping, a social and medico-social cooperation grouping or a hospital foundation of which their establishment of employment is a member, in order to carry out all or part of their service there.
Secondment is decided by the director of the public health establishment to which the patient is assigned, after signature of an agreement between the public health establishment to which the patient is assigned and the host establishment or organisation, following the opinion of the head of the department and the chairman of the establishment’s medical committee, on the proposal of the head of department or, failing this, the head of another internal structure of the establishment to which the patient is assigned. A copy of the decision is sent to the Director General of the Centre National de Gestion.
This agreement specifies in particular the duration of the secondment, subject, in the case of secondment to a public health establishment, to the provisions of the last paragraph of this article, as well as the conditions of employment and return to the public health establishment of origin.
It provides for the reimbursement of remuneration and related charges by the host establishment or organisation.
It may, however, provide for total or partial, temporary or permanent exemption from this reimbursement.
The secondment agreement with an establishment mentioned in article R. 6152-1 is concluded for a period of one year, renewable twice for the same period. At the end of the period of secondment, the practitioner must return to his initial assignment or, in the case of a transfer, be appointed to the establishment to which he has been seconded. In all other cases of secondment, the agreement sets the duration of the secondment. It may be renewed.
