81A   Review of conditions

(1)  A registered medical practitioner who agrees to conditions being imposed on his or her registration, or to being suspended from practising medicine, may, by notice in writing to the Board, request:

(a)  that those conditions be altered or removed, or

(b)  that the suspension be terminated or shortened.

(2)  On receipt of such a request, the Board is to require an Impaired Registrants Panel to review the matter and report in writing to the Board on the results of its review.

(3)  If the Panel recommends that the Board refuse to alter or remove any of the conditions, or refuse to terminate or shorten the suspension, the Board may do so.

(4)  The Board is to give the practitioner concerned notice in writing of its decision in respect of the request.

(5)  The Board may specify in the notice a period in which a further request by the practitioner under this section is not permitted. The Board may reject a request that the conditions be altered or removed, or that the suspension be terminated or shortened, if it is made during that period.
