PART VIIREGISTRATION OF PRIVATE HOSPITALS

Cancellation of registration94

1

The Department may at any time cancel a registration of a private hospital—

a

on any ground on which the Department might have refused to register that hospital; or

b

on the ground that the person carrying on the hospital has been convicted of an offence under this Order.

2

On the cancellation of a registration, the person who is or was carrying on the hospital shall forthwith deliver up the certificate to the Department, and if that person fails to do so, the holder of the certificate shall be guilty of an offence under this Part.

Where at the time of the cancellation of a registration any patient is liable to be detained on the premises concerned, the registration shall, notwithstanding the cancellation, continue in force until the expiration of a period of 28 days from the date of cancellation or until every such patient has ceased to be so liable, whichever first occurs.
