🇬🇧 English

This decree transfers responsibility for the French undesirable health events reporting portal from the Agence des systèmes d'information partagés de santé to the Ministry of Health, with operational implementation delegated to the GIP mentioned in Article L.1111-24 of the Public Health Code. The portal's purpose is expanded to also collect mandatory notifiable disease reports under Article L.3113-1. It now explicitly allows professionals and declarants to exchange messages to complete reports. Data retention rules are updated: user account data is kept for the duration of the personal space activity, functional logs for 10 years (matching medical liability prescription period), and technical logs for a maximum of 6 months. References to the previous operator and its data protection officer are replaced throughout the text.
