Composition
The Committee consists of nine permanent members and nine substitutes. Two of the nine members are also Commission members, supported by:
- seven external members appointed because of their expertise in the sector.
The Committee has been divided into two sections:
- a Social Security Section with six members: two Commission members and four external members (a physician, a computer scientist and two legal experts);
- a Health Section with six members: two Commission members and four external members (physicians).
Moreover, every section has additional members with a purely advisory vote.
In principle, the Commission's President chairs the Committee. If he renounces the presidency, the Commission will designate a member as President.
