<dc:description>This Order makes provision with regard to the constitution of the General Optical Council (“the GOC”). The GOC is to consist of 6 registrant members, who are optometrists or dispensing opticians registered with the GOC, and 6 lay members (article 2). Their terms of office will be determined by the Privy Council – or if directed by the Privy Council to do so, the Appointments Commission – on appointment. There are limitations on the period for which members may serve on the GOC (article 3). The GOC is to make provision with regard to the education and training of their members in standing orders (article 4).</dc:description>
