# The General Chiropractic Council (Constitution of the Statutory Committees) (Amendment) Rules Order of Council 2009, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
The Rules approved by this Order amend the General Chiropractic Council (Constitution of the Statutory Committees) Rules 2009.
Rules 3 amends the composition of the Investigating Committee of the General Chiropractic Council (“the GCC”) to provide for a membership of not more than 30 persons, including registered chiropractors and lay persons, whose names will be on a list maintained by the GCC. Panels of members drawn from the membership list will be invited to attend particular proceedings and the quorum for the committee will be reduced from 5 to 3 members.
Rule 4 amends the chairing arrangement for the Investigating Committee to provide for each panel to be chaired by a panel chair, appointed by the GCC – and one of the panel chairs will be designated by the GCC as the overall chair of the committee.
By these Rules, the provisions for the composition, quorum and the chairing of the Investigating Committee will become the same as those currently for the Professional Conduct Committee and the Health Committee of the GCC.
