Contracted doctors will be obliged to join, single access to the profession, 24-hour assistance, compensation for a fixed and variable fee and inclusion of the activity in the Lea. How article 8 of 502/92 will change according to the provision being studied by the minister and which we are able to anticipate. here is the text.
