Declaration of insufficiency of qualifying examinations.
|
43.—(1) If at any time it appears to the Medical Council that the standard of theoretical or practical knowledge required at any qualifying examination is not such as to guarantee the possession by persons to whom a certificate of fitness to practise dentistry or dental surgery may be granted as a result of such examination of the knowledge requisite for the efficient practice of dentistry or dental surgery the Medical Council may notify in writing such university or college to that effect.
|
|
| |
(2) The university or college by which the qualifying examination to which such notification as aforesaid relates is held may, not later than one month after the receipt thereof, make such representations thereon as such university or college may think fit and may forward such observations to the Medical Council.
|
|
| |
(3) The Medical Council shall consider every representation made to it under this section by any such university or college as aforesaid and, if still satisfied after such consideration that the standard of knowledge required at the qualifying examination to which such representation relates is not such as to guarantee the possession by persons to whom a certificate of fitness to practise dentistry or dental surgery may be given as a result of such examination of the knowledge requisite for the efficient practice of dentistry or dental surgery may declare that in its opinion the possession of such certificate of fitness of such university or college shall not entitle the possessor thereof to be registered in the register.
|
|
| |
(4) Whenever the Medical Council makes any such declaration as aforesaid the Medical Council shall notify in writing the university or college to which such declaration relates and also the Minister of the fact that such declaration has been made.
|
|
| |
(5) The Minister, not later than one month after the receipt by him of such notification as aforesaid, and either after such inquiry into the matter as he may think fit to make or without inquiry, may by order confirm (as on and from the date specified in that behalf in such order) or refuse to confirm the declaration to which such notification relates.
|
|
| |
(6) The Minister may at any time, if he thinks fit so to do, by order revoke an order made under this section and upon such order of revocation being made the order so revoked shall as from the date of such order of revocation cease to be in force but no such order of revocation shall be made save either on the application of the Medical Council and after reasonable notice to the university or college to which the order proposed to be revoked relates and consideration of the observations (if any) made by such university or college or on the application of such university or college and after reasonable notice to the Medical Council and consideration of the observations (if any) made by the Medical Council.
