Full text
333.1. In this Act, “specialized medical centre” means a place, outside a facility maintained by an institution, that is equipped for the provision by one or more physicians of medical services necessary for a hip or knee replacement, a cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation or any other specialized medical treatment determined by regulation of the Government.
The regulation may specify that a type of surgery or other specialized medical treatment referred to in the first paragraph may be provided only in a centre described in section 333.3 and, in the case of a centre described in subparagraph 1 of the first paragraph of that section, only under an agreement under section 349.3.
The factors the Government must take into account for the purpose of determining a specialized medical treatment include the risks generally associated with the treatment, the necessary personnel and equipment, and, if applicable, the type of anaesthesia normally used for and the length of stay usually required after the treatment.
Before making a regulation under the first paragraph, the Government must consult the Collège des médecins du Québec.
