Paragraph 16 Enhanced criminal record certificates
Where a dentist’s name has been included in a dental performers list of a Primary Care Trust pursuant to this Schedule, and—
it has not received an enhanced criminal record certificate under section 115 of the Police Act 1997f1 relating to him; and
the Secretary of State directs that the Primary Care Trust shall require such a certificate from any dentist whose name is included in its dental performers list,
the dentist shall, within 3 months of the Trust notifying him of that requirement, provide that certificate to it.
When sub-paragraph (1)(b) applies, the Primary Care Trust shall write to each such dentist informing him that he is now under a duty to—
provide it with such a certificate; and
do so within the period of 3 months beginning with the date of that letter,
and, subject to sub-paragraph (3), if the dentist has not provided it with such a certificate within that time, it shall remove him from its dental performers list.
The Primary Care Trust—
shall extend the period prescribed in sub-paragraph (1), if the Secretary of State directs that an extension should be required in relation to all such cases or in such categories of case as he may set out in the directions; and
may, if it thinks it is not reasonably practicable for that dentist to provide it with such a certificate within the period of 3 months, beginning with the date of the letter under sub-paragraph (2), as extended by reason of any direction to which paragraph (a) applies, extend that period for such time as it considers appropriate in the circumstances of the case,
and shall notify that dentist of that extension of time.
