240.2. Where the results of the inquiry show that the institution contravened section 240, the regional board may, for each month during which the physician is granted privileges in contravention of that section, reduce the operating budget of that institution by an amount equivalent to 1/12 of the annual average remuneration paid to a general practitioner or a medical specialist, as the case may be, by the Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec in the preceding year.
Moreover, if the results of the inquiry show that the physician is a party to a contravention under section 240, the regional board may bring a proceeding to annul pursuant to section 239.
