Not in force
527. Before accepting Santé Québec’s proposal, the Minister must be of the opinion that it could improve the accessibility of the specialized medical services concerned and would not affect the capacity of the public health and social services network, in particular as regards staffing requirements for the operation of that network. The Minister must also consider the increase in efficiency and effectiveness that could result from the proposal’s implementation.
The Minister’s decision to accept Santé Québec’s proposal must specify the procedure to be followed by Santé Québec to determine which associated medical clinic offers the most cost-effective specialized medical services.
The second paragraph applies despite the Act respecting contracting by public bodies (chapter C-65.1).
