Regulation 17 Further medical examinations
Where a licence specifies the dates of performances and these fall on days in four consecutive weeks or more or where a licence specifies the period in which performances may take place and such period is one month or more, the holder of the licence shall ensure that the child is medically examined within forty-eight hours after the end of each such period of four weeks or each month, as the case may be, in order to ascertain whether he is fit to take part in any further performances for which the licence has been granted and whether his health will suffer by reason of taking part in such performances.
The holder of the licence shall obtain from the person making the medical examination a report stating whether in his opinion the child is fit to take part in any further performances for which the licence has been granted and whether his health will suffer by reason of taking part in such performances.
If the report states that the child is not fit or that his health would suffer as aforesaid, he shall not take part in any further performance until the person making the medical examination has certified that the child is fit to take part and that his health will not suffer thereby.
Where a child has been medically examined under Regulation 8(1) of these Regulations, that child shall be medically examined during the seven days immediately following the day of the last performance to which the licence relates unless the licensing authority are satisfied, having regard to the date of the last medical examination of the child under these Regulations and the number and nature of performances in which the child has taken part, that no such medical examination is necessary.
Where a medical examination is required under this Regulation, it shall be carried out by the school medical officer of the licensing authority or of the local authority or other medically qualified person approved by either of the said authorities; and a copy of the medical report shall be sent to the licensing authority.
