(b)paragraphs (5) to (11),

were omitted.

(2) In addition to the grounds specified in regulation 14(1), [F1NHS England] must remove an emergency registered practitioner from the medical performers list where the emergency registered practitioner—

(b)has not provided that certificate to [F1NHS England] (despite the undertaking to provide it),

within the period specified in paragraph 2(2)(c).

(3) [F1NHS England] may also remove an emergency registered practitioner from the medical performers list where it considers such removal to be justified, after having checked—

(4) The Authority referred to in sub-paragraph (3)(b) or the Secretary of State must, in response to a request from [F1NHS England], supply to [F1NHS England] any information the Authority or the Secretary of State consider relevant for the purposes of sub-paragraph (3)(b) or, as the case may be, (3)(c).
