subject to section 55, the giving of a prohibition notice to the licensee.
The Minister may, by notice in writing given to the holder of a procedure licence, suspend the licence for a period not exceeding 6 months where the Minister has reasonable grounds for believing that—
there exists a ground for the suspension of a licence under this section; and
it is necessary to suspend the licence in order to prevent or remove an imminent serious risk to public health.
A suspension takes effect on the date on which the notice is given to the licensee.
A notice of suspension must—
