Obtaining recognition of a hospital service, a care program, a hospital function etc. supposes the observance of specific norms. The office helps hospitals whose request for recognition has been refused or suspended. The office will also offer legal aid in discussions between hospital administrators and doctors concerning e.g. working conditions, dismissal, fee deduction, general regulation issues, etc.
The office works on legal solutions for problems connected with forms of cooperation between hospitals, such as mergers, groupings, associations, networks, holdings, etc. The office has, for that purpose, an eye for the regulation in the frame of hospital legislation but as well as of OCMW-legislation (public center of social assistance-regulation), VZW-legislation (non-profit-making association-regulation) or other legal partnership legislations.
