The Authority shall remove from the Committee any member who, in the Authority’s opinion—
has seriously or persistently failed to meet the standards of performance, conduct or attendance required of a member of the Committee in the ordinary course of duties;
is unable to perform duties because of ill health;
has improperly disclosed confidential information obtained in the course of membership of the Committee;
has brought the Authority into disrepute;
should no longer continue to be a member of the Committee in the public interest;
has otherwise ceased to be an appropriate person (for example, by reason of misconduct or criminal conviction); or
falls within any of the categories set out in regulation 4(4)(a) to (e).
The Authority may suspend a member of the Committee while investigations are being undertaken as to whether that person is suitable to remain as a member.
The Authority shall afford any member of the Committee who is under investigation the opportunity to make written and oral representations before reaching a decision on whether that person should be removed from the Committee.
The procedure for the suspension or dismissal of a member of the Committee shall otherwise be determined by the Authority.
