S-32.0001, r. 1 - Regulation respecting the procedure followed by the Commission sur les soins de fin de vie to assess compliance with the criteria for the administration of medical aid in dying and the information to be sent to the Commission for that purpose

Section 13 Disposition versions

2015-12-10

13. Where following the assessment of compliance with section 29 of the Act respecting end-of-life care (chapter S-32.0001) in a case of administration of medical aid in dying, two thirds or more of the members of the Commission present are of the opinion that a physician administered medical aid in dying while section 29 was not complied with, the members consult the information referred to in paragraph 2 of section 2.

In such a case, the Commission must inform the Collège des médecins du Québec and, when the physician provided the medical aid in dying as a physician practising in a center operated by an institution, the institution concerned so that they can take appropriate measures. The Commission sends a summary of its conclusions to the Collège and to the institution, if applicable. The summary describes the irregularities identified by the Commission and, if applicable, the steps taken to obtain additional information or particulars as well as the result of the steps.

The Commission may conclude that section 29 of the Act respecting end-of-life care has not been complied with whether or not a request for additional information or particulars under the second paragraph of section 9 has been made.

O.C. 997-2015, s. 13.
