Visiting chiropractors: saving of old law for up to one year
15.—(1) Where—
(a)a person had, immediately before exit day, the benefit of regulation 12 of the European Union (Recognition of Professional Qualifications) Regulations 2015 in respect of the provision by that person of services as a chiropractor (and section 5A(3) of the 1994 Act accordingly applied to the person), and
(b)the person continues to have that benefit on or after exit day,
any provision made by or under the 1994 Act continues to apply in relation to the provision of those services by that person without the amendments that Part 1 of this Schedule makes to the provisions relating to visiting chiropractors from relevant European states.
(2) Sub-paragraph (1) ceases to apply in relation to a visiting chiropractor—
(a)if the chiropractor is registered as required by section 5A(3) of the 1994 Act, when his or her name is removed under section 5A(6) of the Act;
(b)otherwise, when the chiropractor’s entitlement ceases by reason of the operation of section 5A(5) of the Act.
