Article 31 Medical examination of medical practitioners
Where, on or before 31st March 2004—
a Primary Care Trust had required a relevant medical practitioner to be medically examined under regulation 25(5) of the 1992 Regulations; and
that medical examination had not yet taken place,
the requirement shall, on 1st April 2004, unless the Primary Care Trust notifies him otherwise in writing, be regarded as a request made to that medical practitioner for him to be medically examined on the grounds that he is incapable of adequately providing services under the succeeding contract and arrangements for the medical examination shall, with the consent of the medical practitioner, continue to be made by the Local Medical Committee for the area of the Primary Care Trust which is a party to the succeeding contract, pursuant to the function conferred on that committee by regulation 27 of the 2004 Regulations.
