(2)

Subject to paragraph (3), no payment shall be made to a person—

(a)

whose registration has been suspended by a direction or an order of the Health Committee once he has received payments in respect of twelve months' such suspension, whether in respect of the same or a previous period of such suspension and whether or not those twelve months formed a continuous period;

(b)

in respect of any part of a period of suspension where in the period of two years immediately preceding the suspension date he received no fees for the provision of general dental services.

(3)

In calculating whether a person has received payments in respect of twelve months, suspension under paragraph (2)(a), no account shall be taken of any payment made in consequence of the suspension of his registration by a direction or order of the Health Committee more than five years previously.

(4)

No payment shall be made to a person for a period (whether the whole or part of a period of suspension)—

(c)

during which he is absent from the United Kingdom;

(d)

for which he is entitled to any benefit under a contract of insurance against the risk of the suspension of his registration or of the circumstances which led to it or for which the FHSA is satisfied he could have been so entitled but for his failure to enter into such a contract or to pay any premium due under such a contract;

(e)

during which he is serving a term of imprisonment;

(f)

during which he is remanded in custody in connection with a criminal offence for which he is (then or later) convicted; or
