Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
The Regulations approved by this Order make provision for doctors to apply to the Registrar of the General Medical Council (“the GMC”) for restoration to the register of medical practitioners maintained by the GMC following erasure of their names from that register under section 30(5) of the Medical Act 1983 (failure to respond to the Registrar of the GMC regarding address in the register) or under regulations made under section 32 of that Act (failure to pay the prescribed registration fee). These Regulations also amend the Medical Practitioners Registration (Fees) Regulations 1985 (“the Fees Regulations”).
Regulation 2 sets out the application process for restoration to the register, including the information to be supplied and the circumstances in which the application is to be refused. Regulation 3 sets out the investigations which the Registrar will undertake in certain cases before restoring the doctor’s name to the register. Some cases may be referred to the GMC statutory committees, and if these applications are refused, there is a delay period before the applicant may re-apply.
Regulation 4 amends the Fees Regulations to omit reference to the Overseas List and in particular to insert the fee payable for restoration to the register following voluntary erasure under regulations coming into force at the same time as these Regulations.
Regulation 5 revokes the Medical Practitioners Registration (No. 2) Regulations 1979 and the provisions of the General Medical Council (Voluntary Erasure and Restoration) Regulations 2000 (“the 2000 Regulations”) made under section 32 of the Medical Act 1983 (“the Act”). The 2002 Regulations are fully revoked as from the date this Order comes into force by virtue of the Regulations approved by this Order and the General Medical Council (Voluntary Erasure and Restoration following Voluntary Erasure) Regulations 2003, which revoke the 2000 Regulations in so far as they were made under section 31A of the Act. The full revocation could not be included in a single instrument as different procedures are required for Orders approving Regulations made under section 31A and 32 of the Act.
