Section 10
Disposition versions
Not in force
10. All general practitioners must, before ceasing to provide medical care to a patient, take the necessary steps to ensure that another physician takes over as provided for in the Code of ethics of physicians (chapter M-9, r. 17).
If no other physician has taken over by the time a physician ceases to provide medical care to a patient, the physician must, after obtaining the patient’s consent, register the patient in the information system, mentioned in the sixth paragraph of section 2 of the Act respecting the Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec (chapter R-5), which is designed to allow every insured person, within the meaning of the Health Insurance Act (chapter A-29), to find a physician who agrees to provide medical care to the person. A government regulation determines the requirements for using the system, including the information that must be entered in it.
