“The acknowledgement of a “resource role” – on the basis of a rallying of stakeholders – requires the identification of particularly specialised skill sets, recognised as expert skill sets (with respect to professional best practice recommendations), within a relevant territory determined by the ARS (Regional health agency. It rests on these stakeholder’s ability to rally together and to carry out their activities for the benefit of the population of a given territory, and with full legitimacy regarding professional, structural and institutional stakeholders. It involves identifying criteria for this acknowledgement and evaluating the supposed resource role against these.”
