Filling of vacancies
13.—(1) If any member who has been elected to any of the Committees vacates office otherwise than by the expiry of his term of office, the vacancy shall be filled by election by the Council in the same manner as the original election and the member so elected shall hold office until the end of the term of office of the member in whose place he was elected.
(2) If at any time there are insufficient elected, appointed or lay members available to sit on the fitness to practice committees then the President may temporarily appoint to any of them any member who would not be disqualified from adjudication under rule 12 of these Rules, but so that a vacancy on a committee for a medical member may only be filled by another medical member, and a vacancy for a lay member may only be filled by another lay member.
