Medical Practitioners Act 1995

   64. Unsatisfactory results of competence programme or recertification
 programme---(1) If any medical practitioner who is required to complete
 a competence programme or a recertification programme does not satisfy
 the requirements of the programme, the Council may make any 1 or more of
 the following orders:
   (a) That the practitioner's registration or practising certificate, or
         both, be subject to such condition or conditions as the Council
         considers appropriate:
   (b) In the case of a practitioner who holds vocational registration,
         that the practitioner's vocational registration be suspended,
         (in which case the practitioner shall be deemed to hold general
         registration):
   (c) That the practitioner's registration or practising certificate be
         suspended.

   (2) If the Council proposes to make an order under subsection (1) of
 this section, it shall give to the medical practitioner concerned,---
   (a) A notice containing such particulars as will clearly inform the
         practitioner of the substance of the grounds on which the
         Council proposes to make the order; and
   (b) Subject to section 134 of this Act, a copy of any information on
         which the Council relies in proposing to make the order; and
   (c) A reasonable opportunity to make written submissions and be heard
         on the matter, either personally or by his or her
         representative.

   (3) Any order made under subsection (1) of this section shall remain
 in effect until such time as the medical practitioner concerned has
 satisfied all the requirements of the competence programme or, as the
 case may be, the recertification programme, and for that purpose the
 Council may extend the period within which the practitioner is required
 to satisfy those requirements.

   (4) The failure of a medical practitioner to satisfy the requirements
 of any competence programme or recertification programme that applies to
 the medical practitioner shall not, of itself, be grounds for the taking
 of disciplinary action under Part VIII of this Act against that medical
 practitioner.
