Radiation Protection Act 2006

This section applies if any of the following ask the advisory committee, in writing, for advice on a radiation protection issue:

the Minister;

the director-general;

the chief health officer.

The committee must investigate and provide a written report on the issue, including a recommendation if appropriate, within—

a period, stated in the request, that is not less than 7 days; or

if a longer period is stated in the request—the longer period.

However, if the committee reasonably needs more time to provide the report—

the committee may make a written request to the person who asked for the advice for more time to provide the report; and

the person may extend the period for the committee to provide the report.
