Review periods for national disqualification

19.  The period for review will be the period specified below, instead of that set out in section 49N(8), where the circumstances are that—

(a)on making a decision to impose a national disqualification, the FHSAA states that it is of the opinion that the criminal or professional conduct of the practitioner is such that there is no realistic prospect of a further review being successful, if held within the period specified in section 49N(8)(a), in which case the reference to “two years” in that section is a reference to five years;

(b)on the last review by the FHSAA of a national disqualification the practitioner was unsuccessful and the FHSAA states that it is of the opinion that there is no realistic prospect of a further review being successful if held within a period of three years beginning with the date of its decision on that review, in which case the reference to “one year” in section 49N(8) (b) is a reference to three years;

(c)the FHSAA states that it is of the opinion that, because a criminal conviction considered by the FHSAA in reaching the decision that has effect has been quashed or the penalty reduced on appeal, there is need for an immediate review, in which case the reference to “two years” or “one year” in section 49N(8) is a reference to the period that has already elapsed; or

(d)the FHSAA is of the opinion that because the decision of a licensing, regulatory or other body ha been quashed or the penalty reduced on appeal, there is a need for an immediate review, in which case the reference to “two years” or “one year” in section 49N(8) is a reference to the period that has already elapsed.
