The Investigating Committee may consider that the Interim Orders (‘IO’) Committee should consider making an order for interim suspension or interim conditional registration. If so, the Registrar refers the matter to the IO Committee. Sanctions available are either an ‘interim suspension order’ for up to 18 months or an ‘order for interim conditional registration’ for up to 18 months.
Such an order shall be reviewed:
If the case has not been heard within 18 months, then the GDC must make an application to the High Court for extension of the order. If your case has been subject to unnecessary delay, a MedicAssistanceScheme solicitor can make submissions to the High Court that the order should not be extended on your behalf.
