Regulation 13 Grounds for removal of recognition
Where the members of a fund-holding practice have not, within the period of one month beginning with the date on which the notice referred to in regulation 18(3) was sent, notified the Health Authority that they are prepared to accept the amount specified in that notice as their proposed allotted sum for the financial year beginning on the next 1st April, the Secretary of State may remove recognition from them with effect from that 1st April (whether or not the recognition is one which has taken effect in accordance with regulation 5(2)).
The Secretary of State may remove recognition from the members of a community fund-holding practice or a standard fund-holding practice (as the case may be) if any one or more of the conditions specified in Schedule 2 in relation to such a practice is no longer fulfilled in relation to that practice.
The Health Authority shall have the function of collecting, collating and forwarding to the Secretary of State any information reasonably required by the Secretary of State to enable him to consider removal of recognition from the members of a fund-holding practice.
