of any period of absence from New Zealand before the 1st day of April

person who holds both general registration and vocational registration,
the person's name shall be removed from the register in respect of both
types of registration.
(4) The removal, under subsection (1) (c) of this section, of a
practitioner's name from the register does not affect that
practitioner's liability for any act done or default made before the
date of the removal.
