Paragraph 15 Enhanced criminal record certificates
Where a dentist’s name has been included in a dental performers list of a Local Health Board 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 or her; and
the National Assembly for Wales directs that the Local Health Board will require such a certificate from any dentist whose name is included in its dental performers list,
the dentist will, within 3 months of the Board notifying him or her of that requirement, provide that certificate to it.
When sub-paragraph (1)(b) applies, the Local Health Board will write to each such dentist informing him or her that he or she 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 will remove him or her from its dental performers list.
The Local Health Board—
will extend the period prescribed in sub-paragraph (1), if the National Assembly for Wales directs that an extension should be required in relation to all such cases or in such categories of case as it 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 will notify that dentist of that extension of time.
