6

For the purposes of sub-paragraph (5), a certificate purporting to be signed by or on behalf of the Department as to the date on which such evidence as is mentioned in head (a) of that sub-paragraph came to its knowledge is conclusive evidence of that date.

Where, in respect of any charge or payment under this Order—

a

a person is convicted of an offence under this paragraph; or

b

a person pays any penalty charge, and any further sum by way of penalty, recoverable from him under paragraph 6,

If the Tribunal receives from a Health and Social Services Board representations that—

a person who is included in any list meets either of the conditions for disqualification; or

b

a person who has applied to be included in any list meets the second condition for disqualification,

the Tribunal shall inquire into the case.

If the Tribunal receives such representations from any other person, it may inquire into the case.

in the prescribed manner; and

where the representations are that the second condition for disqualification is met and regulations prescribe the time within which such representations are to be made, within that time.

5

Sub-paragraphs (6) to (11) apply for the purposes of this Schedule.

6

The first condition for disqualification is that the continued inclusion of the person concerned in the list would be prejudicial to the efficiency of the services which those included in the list undertake to provide.

7

The second condition for disqualification is that the person concerned—

a

has (whether on his own or together with another) by an act or omission caused, or risked causing, detriment to any health scheme by securing or trying to secure for himself or another any financial or other benefit; and

10

Detriment to a health scheme includes detriment to any patient of, or person working in, that scheme or any person liable to pay charges for services provided under that scheme.

11

Cases in which representations are made that the first condition for disqualification is met are referred to as efficiency cases; and cases in which representations are made that the second condition for disqualification is met are referred to as fraud cases.

The Tribunal: supplementary
21

Where an ophthalmic optician is a body corporate, the body corporate is to be treated for the purposes of this Schedule as meeting the second condition for disqualification if any director meets that condition (whether or not he first met that condition when he was a director).

2

Where a body corporate carries on a retail pharmacy business, the body corporate is to be treated for the purposes of this Schedule as meeting the second condition for disqualification if any one of the body of persons controlling the body corporate meets that condition (whether or not he first met that condition when he was one of them).

3

A person who is included in any list ( “the practitioner”) is to be treated for the purposes of this Schedule as meeting the second condition for disqualification if—

a

another person, because of an act or omission of his occurring in the course of providing any services mentioned in paragraph 1(8) on the practitioner's behalf, meets that condition; and

b

the practitioner failed to take all such steps as were reasonable to prevent acts or omissions within paragraph 1(7)(a) occurring in the course of the provision of those services on his behalf.

4

The Tribunal is not required to inquire into a fraud case if it has previously inquired into representations in respect of the person concerned and the same acts or omissions.

5

In a fraud case, regulations may make provision (including provision modifying the effect of Part VI of this Order and this Schedule) for the purpose of securing that the person subject to the inquiry is not added to any list until proceedings in that case are finally concluded.

Powers of the Tribunal
31

The Tribunal shall not make any disqualification or declaration under this paragraph if it is of the opinion that it would be unjust to do so.

5

A disqualification under this paragraph shall have effect when proceedings in the case are finally concluded.

If a person is disqualified for inclusion in any list prepared by a Health and Social Services Board, the Board shall not enter him in the list and (if he is already included in the list) shall remove him from the list.

Conditional disqualification
41

The functions of making disqualifications under paragraph 3 include making a conditional disqualification, that is, a disqualification which is to come into effect only if the Tribunal determines (on a review under paragraph 5) that the person subject to the inquiry has failed to comply with any conditions imposed by the Tribunal.

2

Conditions may be imposed by virtue of sub-paragraph (1) with a view to—

a

removing any prejudice to the efficiency of the services in question; or

preventing any acts or omissions within paragraph 1(7)(a),

(as the case may be).

4

Paragraph 3(4) applies to a conditional disqualification as it applies to a disqualification.

a

there has been a change in the circumstances by reference to which the conditions were imposed;

b

the person concerned has failed to comply with the conditions; or

c

in a fraud case, the person concerned has since the Tribunal imposed the conditions (or made the disqualification conditional) again satisfied the second condition for disqualification,

the Tribunal shall review the conditional disqualification.

In the case of a person who is providing services in Scotland or England and Wales, the reference in sub-paragraph (3) to a Health and Social Services Board includes any corresponding authority under the provisions in force in Scotland or England and Wales corresponding to Part VI of this Order.

a

there is a general disqualification which the Tribunal does not remove or make conditional;

there is a general disqualification which is conditional and which the Tribunal makes unconditional; or

the Tribunal makes a general disqualification,

SCHEDULE 3

Section 55.

SCHEDULE 10 TO THE PRINCIPAL ORDER, AS SUBSTITUTED

SCHEDULE 10PROHIBITION OF SALE OF MEDICAL PRACTICES

1Sale of medical practices1

It is unlawful to sell the goodwill of the medical practice of a person who has at any time—

a

provided general medical services under arrangements made with a Health and Social Services Board under this Order; or

b

provided or performed personal medical services in accordance with Article 15B arrangements made with a Health and Social Services Board,

unless that person no longer provides or performs such services and has never carried on the practice in that Board's area.

2

In this Schedule—

“goodwill” includes any part of goodwill and, in relation to a person practising in partnership, means his share of the goodwill of the partnership practice;

“medical practice” includes any part of a medical practice.

2Prohibition, and certificate of Health and Social Services Board1

Any person who sells or buys the goodwill of a medical practice which it is unlawful to sell by virtue of paragraph 1 is guilty of an offence and liable on conviction on indictment to a fine not exceeding—

a

such amount as will in the court's opinion secure that he derive no benefit from the offence; and

b

the further amount of £500;

or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding three months, or to both such fine and such imprisonment.

2

Any person proposing to be a party to a transaction or series of transactions which he thinks might amount to a sale of the goodwill of a medical practice in contravention of paragraph 1 may ask the Health and Social Services Board for the area in which the practice is situated for a certificate under this paragraph.

3

The Health and Social Services Board shall consider any such application, and, if it is satisfied that the transaction or series of transactions does not involve the giving of valuable consideration in respect of the goodwill of such a medical practice, it shall issue to the applicant a certificate to that effect, which shall be in the prescribed form and shall set out all material circumstances disclosed to the Board.

4

Where any person is charged with an offence under this paragraph in respect of any transaction or series of transactions, it shall be a defence to the charge to prove that the transaction or series of transactions was certified by the Health and Social Services Board under sub-paragraph (3).

5

Any document purporting to be such a certificate shall be admissible in evidence and shall be deemed to be such a certificate unless the contrary is proved.

6

If it appears to the court that the applicant for any such certificate failed to disclose to the Health and Social Services Board all the material circumstances, or made any misrepresentation with respect thereto, the court may disregard the certificate, and sub-paragraph (4) shall not apply thereto.

7

A prosecution for an offence under this paragraph shall only be instituted by or with the consent of the Director of Public Prosecutions, and the Health and Social Services Board shall, at the request of the Director, furnish him with a copy of any certificate issued by it under sub-paragraph (3), and with copies of any documents produced to it in connection with the application for that certificate.

3Certain transactions deemed sale of goodwill1

For the purposes of paragraphs 1 and 2, a disposal of premises previously used for the purposes of a medical practice shall be deemed to be a sale of the goodwill of a medical practice if—

a

the person disposing of the premises did so knowing that another person ( “A”) intended to use them for the purposes of A's medical practice; and

b

the consideration for the disposal substantially exceeded the consideration that might reasonably have been expected if the premises had not previously been used for the purposes of a medical practice.

2

If a person disposes of any premises together with any other property, the court shall, for the purposes of sub-paragraph (1), make such apportionment of the consideration as it thinks just.

3

For the purposes of sub-paragraphs (1) and (2)—

a

“disposal” means any sale, letting or other form of disposal (whether by a single transaction or a series of transactions); and

b

a person who procures the disposal of any premises is to be treated as having disposed of them.

4

Where in pursuance of any partnership agreement—

a

any valuable consideration, other than the performance of services in the partnership business, is given by a partner or proposed partner as consideration for his being taken into partnership;

b

any valuable consideration is given to a partner, on or in contemplation of his retirement or of his acceptance of a reduced share of the partnership profits, or to the personal representative of a partner on his death, not being a payment in respect of that partner's share in past earnings of the partnership or in any partnership assets or any other payment required to be made to him as the result of the final settlement of accounts, as between him and the other partners, in respect of past transactions of the partnership; or

c

services are performed by any partner for a consideration substantially less than those services might reasonably have been expected to be worth having regard to the circumstances at the time when the agreement was made,

there shall be deemed for the purposes of paragraphs 1 and 2 to have been a sale of the goodwill of the practice of any partner to whom, or to whose personal representative, the consideration or any part thereof is given or, as the case may be, for whose benefit the services are performed, to the partner or each of the partners by or on whose behalf the consideration or any part thereof was given or, as the case may be, the partner who performed the services, and the said sale shall be deemed for the purposes of sub-paragraphs (1) and (2) to have been effected—

i

in a case to which head (a) or head (b) applies, at the time when the consideration was given, or, if the consideration was not all given at the same time, at the time when the first part thereof was given; or

ii

in a case to which head (c) applies, at the time when the agreement was made.

5

Sub-paragraph (6) applies if a person ( “the assistant”)—

a

performs services on behalf of a person who carries on a medical practice (or as an employee of a person employing a practitioner who carries on a medical practice);

b

receives substantially less remuneration for performing those services than might reasonably have been expected, having regard to the circumstances at the time when the remuneration was fixed; and

c

subsequently succeeds, whether as a result of a partnership agreement or otherwise, to that practice.

6

For the purposes of paragraphs 1 and 2, a sale of the goodwill of the practice is to be deemed to have taken place (at the time when the remuneration was fixed), unless it is proved that the remuneration was not fixed in contemplation of the assistant's succeeding to the practice.

7

For the purposes of paragraphs 1 and 2, the goodwill of a medical practice shall be deemed to have been sold if—

a

a person carrying on the practice (or employing a practitioner who carries on a medical practice) agrees, for valuable consideration—

i

to do or refrain from doing any act, for the purpose of facilitating the succession of another person to the practice; or

ii

to allow any act to be done, for that purpose; or

b

a person—

i

gives valuable consideration to a person carrying on the practice (or employing a practitioner who carries on a medical practice); and

ii

succeeds, or has previously succeeded, to the practice.

8

Sub-paragraph (7) does not apply—

a

if it is proved that no part of the consideration was given in respect of the goodwill; or

b

to anything done—

i

in relation to the acquisition of premises for the purposes of a medical practice;

ii

in pursuance of a partnership agreement; or

iii

in the performance of medical services by one person as an assistant to another.

9

In determining for the purposes of this Schedule the consideration given in respect of any transaction, the court shall have regard to any other transaction appearing to the court to be associated with the first transaction, and shall estimate the total consideration given in respect of both or all the transactions, and apportion it between those transactions in such manner as it thinks just.

10

For the purposes of this Schedule—

a

consideration is deemed to be given to a person ( “B”) if—

i

it is given to another person but with B's knowledge and consent; and

ii

it appears to the court that B has derived, or will derive, a substantial benefit from the giving of the consideration; and

b

unless the context otherwise requires, references to a person include, in the case of an individual who has died, references to his personal representative.

4Carried-over goodwill

The fact that a person's medical practice was previously carried on by another person who at any time provided general medical services or personal medical services does not, by itself, make it unlawful under paragraph 1 for the goodwill of his practice to be sold.
