The General Pharmaceutical Council (Fitness to Practise and Disqualification etc. Rules) Order of Council 2010

Review of undertakings

45.—(1) Where undertakings have been agreed by the Committee under rule 26, the Registrar may carry out any investigations which may include (but are not limited to) requesting the provision of reports or directing an assessment to be carried out where, in the Registrar’s opinion these are appropriate to the consideration of—

(a) whether the registrant concerned or section 80 party has complied with any undertakings in place; or

(b) in the case of a registrant, the registrant concerned’s fitness to practise.

(2) Where, as a result of information received by the Council, it appears to the Registrar that any undertakings agreed under rule 26 should be varied or cease to apply, the Registrar must—

(a) invite the registrant concerned or section 80 party to agree such varied undertakings as appear to the Registrar to be appropriate; or

(b) direct that the undertakings are no longer to apply.

(3) Where the Registrar receives information that—

(a) the registrant concerned or section 80 party has failed to comply with an undertaking agreed under rule 26 or which, having been agreed under rule 26, has been varied following an invitation to comply with it under paragraph (2)(a); or

(b) in the case of a registrant, the registrant concerned’s health or performance has deteriorated or otherwise gives further concern regarding their fitness to practise,

the Registrar may refer the matter to the Committee for a review hearing.
