86N Actions by Panel

(1) At the completion of a performance review, a Performance Review Panel may make such recommendations to the Board in respect of the registered medical practitioner concerned as the Panel considers appropriate.

(2) Without limiting subsection (1), if the Panel finds that the professional performance of the practitioner, or a particular aspect of the professional performance of the practitioner, is unsatisfactory, the Panel may do any one or more of the following things:

(a) direct that such conditions, relating to the person's practising medicine, as it considers appropriate be imposed on the person's registration,

(b) order that the practitioner complete such educational courses as are specified by the Panel,

(c) order that the practitioner report on his or her medical practice at the times, in the manner and to the persons specified by the Panel,

(d) order that the practitioner seek and take advice, in relation to the management of his or her medical practice, from such persons as are specified by the Panel.

(3) If the Panel finds that a matter:

(a) raises a significant issue of public health or safety, or

(b) raises a prima facie case of professional misconduct by a registered medical practitioner, or unsatisfactory professional conduct by a registered medical practitioner,

the Panel must recommend to the Board that a complaint be made against the practitioner concerned, in which case the Board is to deal with the matter accordingly.

(4) In any other case that the Board thinks it appropriate to do so, the Board may make a complaint in respect of a matter that has been considered by a Performance Review Panel, after consulting with the Commission.
