51. A review committee is established for each local authority.

The review committee is composed of three members appointed by the board of directors of the local authority.

The chair of the review committee is appointed from among the members of the board of directors of the local authority who are not employed by or do not practise a profession with the authority. The other two members are appointed from among the physicians, dentists and pharmacists who practise in a centre operated by one of the institutions in the territory of a local health and social services network within the meaning of section 99.2 whose activities and services are coordinated by the local authority. The appointments are made on the recommendation of the councils of physicians, dentists and pharmacists of the local authority and of the other institutions in the territory, or, where no such council has been established for an institution, after consulting with the physicians, dentists and pharmacists concerned.

The board of directors of the local authority fixes the term of appointment of the members of the review committee and determines its operating rules.

However, a public institution other than a local authority may establish its own review committee. This section and sections 52 to 59 apply in such a case, with the necessary modifications, and only physicians, dentists and pharmacists who practise in a centre operated by the institution may be appointed by the board of directors as members of that review committee.
