Removal of person from doctor’s list

25.—(1) A person whose name is included in the list of a doctor and who no longer wishes to avail himself of general medical services may at any time give notice to the Board that he wishes his name to be removed from that list, and at the expiration of 14 days from the date of the receipt of the notice, the Board shall remove the name and inform the person and the doctor.

(2) Subject to the provisions of paragraphs (3) and (5), where, in regard to a person whose name is in the list of a doctor providing general medical services in the area of the Board, the Board after due enquiry including consultation in writing with the doctor is satisfied, either—

(a)that the person no longer resides in that part of the area of the Board where the doctor has undertaken to provide such services, or

(b)that the whereabouts of the person are no longer known to the Board,

and that the doctor in whose list the name of the person is included is no longer responsible for providing that person with general medical services, the Board shall remove the name of that person from the doctor’s list.

(3) Without prejudice to paragraph (2), where the Board consults a doctor in writing about the possible removal of the name of a person from his list, it shall remove that name from the list six months after that consultation unless the doctor satisfies the Board that he is still responsible for providing general medical services for that person.

(4) On removing the name of a person from the list of a doctor the Board shall notify the doctor and the person concerned at his last known address.

(5) The Board shall, on receiving from the doctor (in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 33 of the terms of service) particulars of persons who are pupils or staff or residents of a school or residential institution where he provides general medical services, forthwith remove the names of all persons appearing in his list as pupils or staff or residents of such school or institution which are not shown in the said particulars.

(6) Where the Board has made a request to a doctor for particulars under the said paragraph 33 and has not received them in accordance with those provisions, it may remove the names of persons at such schools or institutions appearing on his list.
