The General Pharmaceutical Council (Registration Rules) Order of Council 2010

Voluntary removal: supplementary provision E+W+S

15.—(1) Where the Registrar becomes aware that an application for the voluntary removal of an entry from Part 1 or, as the case may be, Part 2 of the Register—

(a) has been granted in reliance upon information provided by the applicant (“the former registrant”) relating to fitness to practise matters that was false or misleading; and

(b) but for that information, the application would have been refused by virtue of rule 14(6),

the Registrar must revoke the decision to grant the application and must restore the entry of the former registrant to the relevant part of the Register.

(2) An entry restored to Part 1 or, as the case may be, Part 2 of the Register under paragraph (1)—

(a) is still to be treated as having been entered in that part of the Register; and

(b) is valid for the same period as the period for which the entry would have been valid, or would have been treated as valid, under article 25 of the Order had it not been removed from the Register by virtue of an application under rule 14.

(3) Paragraph (2) does not apply to an entry in Part 1 or, as the case may be, Part 2 of the Register which has ceased to be valid by virtue of article 25(3) of the Order before the Registrar became aware of a matter referred to in paragraph (1)(a) or (b).
