Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
The Rules approved by this Order provide for the procedure to be followed where it appears that an entry in the registers of medical practitioners maintained by the General Medical Council (“the Council”) may have been made in error (rule 4) or obtained fraudulently (rules 5 to 14). In particular, the Rules provide for the consideration of such matters to be referred to a Registration Decisions Panel to consider at a meeting (in respect of an error allegation) or at a hearing (in respect of a fraud allegation). Provision is also made for the content of the notice of decisions, the service of notices under the Rules and how such service is to be proved (rules 15 to 17).
The Rules revoke the General Medical Council (Fraud or Error in relation to Registration) Rules 1980 (rule 19): transitional provision is therefore made for fraud or error allegations that came to the attention of the Council prior to the coming into force of the Rules approved by this Order (rule 18).
