Regulation 4 Withdrawal or death of a member of a fund-holding practice

Subject to paragraph (2), a member of a fund-holding practice may withdraw from the practice and if he does so the remaining members of the practice shall continue to be recognised as a fund-holding practice unless and until the members of the practice renounce recognition or the relevant Health Board removes recognition from the practice in accordance with these Regulations.

A member of a fund-holding practice who is a partner of another member of the practice may not withdraw from the fund-holding practice unless he also ceases at the same time to be a partner of that other member.

Where a member of a fund-holding practice dies, the remaining members of the practice shall continue to be recognised as a fund-holding practice unless and until the members of the practice renounce recognition or the relevant Health Board removes recognition from the practice in accordance with these Regulations.
