Paragraph 7

In regulation H1, for paragraph (4) substitute–

“(4)

The police authority may decide to refer a question in paragraph (2) or, as the case may be, (3) to a board of duly qualified medical practitioners instead of to a single duly qualified medical practitioner, and in such a case references in this regulation, regulations H2 and H3 (1), (2) and (4), and paragraphs 5(a) and 6 of Schedule H to a medical practitioner shall be construed as if they were references to such a board.

(5)

In any case where one or both of questions (a) and (b) in paragraph (2) is or are referred to a selected medical practitioner, the decision of that practitioner on all the questions referred to him shall be expressed in the form of a report and shall, subject to regulations H2 and H3, be final.

(6)

Where one or both of questions (c) and (d) in paragraph (2) is or are referred to a selected medical practitioner and paragraph (5) does not apply, the decision of that practitioner on all the questions referred to him shall be expressed in the form of a certificate and shall, subject to regulations H2 and H3, be final.

(7)

A copy of any report under paragraph (5) shall be supplied to the person who is the subject of that report.”.
