Mr. Moyle

I beg to move Amendment No. 28, in page 43, line 6, at end insert—

'Subsequent grants of limited registration

4A. In the case of a practitioner to whom this Part applies who is or has been registered with limited registration for a period by virtue of paragraph 4 above and who applies under section 22 of this Act to be so registered for a further period, the following provisions of that section shall not apply, namely, subsection (4) and, in subsection (11), the reference to the permitted period and to section 23(1) of this Act'.

This is a drafting amendment. At present, paragraph 4 of Schedule 5 does not give full effect to the policy that the five-year rule on limited registration should never apply to a person who was formerly temporarily registered. The amendment ensures that on any subsequent application for limited registration by such a person the five-year rule does not apply.

Amendment agreed to.

Amendments made: No. 29, in page 43, line 19, leave out from beginning to end of line 24 and insert—

Pending applications under s. 26 of Medical Act 1956

6.
