6 S If, at the end of the nomination period, the number of nominated candidates in an electoral ward is equal to or less than the number of elected members to be elected for that ward—

(a) the Health Board election is not to be held in the ward, and

(b) on the day on which the election was to be held the returning officer must—

(i) declare the nominated candidates (if any) to be deemed to have been elected as elected members for the ward, and

(ii) if the number of nominated candidates is less than the number of elected members to be elected for the ward, declare the number of vacancies in the ward.

(a) is aged 16 or over, and

(b) meets any further criteria specified in election regulations.

(2) Such further criteria may, in particular, provide that an individual is entitled to vote at a Health Board election only if the individual—

(a) is registered in the register of local government electors in respect of an address in the Health Board area, and

(b) would be entitled to vote at a local government election in an electoral area falling wholly or partly in the Health Board area (or would be so entitled if aged 18 or over).

2 [F105 F105 (1) For the purposes of section 35(1) and paragraph 1, 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— S

(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

(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,

(ii) in pursuance of a partnership agreement; or

(iii) in the performance of medical services by one person as an assistant to another.]
