P-16.1 - Act respecting the practice of midwifery within the framework of pilot projects
Section 1
Disposition versions
1. (This section ceased to have effect on 24 September 1998).
1. The object of this Act is to authorize, on an experimental basis, the practice of midwifery within the framework of pilot projects.
The experiment is principally aimed at evaluating the effects of midwifery practice on the humanization and continuity of care, the prevention of premature births and low birth weight, the use of obstetrical technology and the adaptation of services to intended clients, with a view to determining whether it is advisable to allow the practice of midwifery and, if expedient, determining the professional organization of midwifery practice and the mode of integration of the midwife in the perinatal care staff.
