243.1. Where the appointment of a physician or dentist is intended solely to provide for the replacement of a physician or dentist whose appointment has been duly accepted by the board of directors but who is absent or temporarily unable to practise, the application for appointment is not subject to the provisions relating to the institution’s medical and dental staffing plan.
Any appointment made following such an application is valid only for the duration of the absence or inability to practise of the physician or dentist concerned and, notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of this subdivision, may not be the subject of an application for renewal.
