16 Renunciation and removal of recognition as a fund-holding practice and withholding of funds.E+W

(1)Regulations may make provision as to the circumstances in which the members of a recognised fund-holding practice may renounce that status and such regulations may, in particular, make provision as to—

(a)the notice to be given and the number of members of the practice by whom it is to be given;

(b)the procedure to be followed; and

(c)the consequences of such a renunciation.

(2)Regulations may make provision as to the circumstances in which and the grounds on which the relevant Regional Health Authority or, as the case may be, the Secretary of State may remove recognition from the members of a fund-holding practice,—

(a)with immediate effect; or

(b)with effect from the end of a particular financial year; or

(c)with effect from such other date as may be specified by the Regional Health Authority or, as the case may be, the Secretary of State.

(3)Where provision is made as mentioned in subsection (2) above, regulations shall make provision with respect to—

(a)the procedure for the removal of recognition;

(b)appeals against the removal of recognition by a Regional Health Authority; and

(c)the consequences of the removal of recognition.

(4)Without prejudice to the generality of the powers conferred by subsection (3) above, regulations making provision as mentioned in paragraph (c) of that subsection—

(a)may provide for the transfer of rights and obligations from the members of the fund-holding practice to one or more District Health Authorities determined in accordance with the regulations;

(b)may provide for the recovery of sums from the members of the practice; and

(c)may require the members of the practice to furnish such information as may reasonably be required by the Regional Health Authority or, as the case may be, the Secretary of State.

(5)The bringing of an appeal against the removal of recognition by a Regional Health Authority shall not be regarded as preserving the recognised status of the members of the fund-holding practice and, accordingly, subject to the outcome of the appeal, the relevant Regional Health Authority shall not be required, after the removal takes effect, to make any (or, as the case may be, any further) payment to the members of the practice of any part of the allotted sum for the financial year in question or, as the case may be, to determine and pay any allotted sum for a future financial year.

(6)Where any part of an allotted sum has been applied by the members of a recognised fund-holding practice (or any one or more of them) for purposes other than those specified in regulations under section 15(7) above, regulations may make provision for and in connection with the recovery by the relevant Regional Health Authority or, as the case may be, the Secretary of State of an amount equal to that part.

(7)Where provision is made as mentioned in subsection (6) above, regulations shall make provision with respect to appeals against the recovery of any amount by a Regional Health Authority.
