Last week, the Paris administrative court of appeal made public its decision in the dispute between the CPS and the Hospital Center. The social welfare fund of French Polynesia asked the court to ensure the execution of judgment n ° 12PA00933 of December 31, 2015 by which the court ordered the hospital center of French Polynesia to reimburse it, at at the end of each past year, under the conditions defined in point 21 of the judgment, the justified disbursements that it will have incurred for the benefit of a patient, corresponding to care and materials and medical, nursing care, pharmaceutical costs and medical and paramedical equipment which may be exposed due to the damage resulting from the fault committed by the French Polynesia hospital center.
The sum of 23.6 million claimed by the CPS at the Taaone hospital includes all the costs incurred to treat a patient following a medical error, from December 31, 2015 until the latter’s death on May 29, 2016. These costs included medical costs, hospital costs, analysis costs, accommodation costs, fitting and prosthesis costs and pharmacy costs.
The hospital had so far refused to pay this sum to the CPS, arguing that the deceased was registered with the self-employed scheme.
The Paris administrative court of appeal finally confirmed the first judgment of the Papeete administrative court on the subject and the CHPF now has two months to settle the bill. Afterwards, he will be subject to a fine of 6,000 francs per day of delay.
