The Regulations also amend Schedule 1 of the 1992 Regulations to prevent the employment, as an assistant or deputy, of any dentist suspended by the Tribunal who is also subject to a declaration by the Tribunal that he is not fit to be engaged in any capacity in the provision of general dental services.\nThe Regulations also provide for payments to suspended dentists.",
