4. For the purposes of this Act, the following are health and social services bodies:

(1)  the Ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux;

(2)  a person or a group referred to in Schedule I or Schedule II;

(3)  an institution and the Nunavik Regional Board of Health and Social Services established under section 530.25 of the Act respecting health services and social services (chapter S-4.2);

(4)  a person or a group not already referred to in this section that enters into an agreement with a health and social services body referred to in subparagraph 2 or 3 concerning the provision of health services or social services on behalf of that body; and

(5)  any other person or group determined by government regulation, to the extent determined by the Government.

However, a person or a group referred to in subparagraph 4 of the first paragraph is considered a health and social services body only with respect to its activities related to the provision of health services or social services on behalf of a health and social services body referred to in subparagraph 2 or 3 of the first paragraph.

A service provider who offers health services or social services within a health and social services body other than an institution, and whose records are not kept by the body, is also considered a health and social services body.

Unless the context indicates otherwise, “body” used without a qualifier in this Act means a health and social services body. In addition, where this Act refers to a person or a group, such a body is included in that reference.
