Health Administration Act 1982

If a nominating body mentioned in section 20B (2) wishes to relinquish its power to nominate under that subsection—

it may relinquish the power by causing an instrument in writing to that effect to be served on the Minister,

it may, but need not, specify in that instrument one of the remaining nominating bodies as the body to be the nominating body in its place,

if the relinquishing body does not specify a nominating body under paragraph (b), the Committee may specify a body (which may, but need not, be one of the remaining nominating bodies) as the body to be the nominating body in the place of the relinquishing body, and

the body specified under paragraph (b) or (c) shall be deemed to be mentioned in section 20B (2) in place of the relinquishing body and to have nominated any person already nominated by the relinquishing body.

If at any time a nominating body mentioned in section 20B (2) does not exist by the name so mentioned—

the Committee may specify a body (which may, but need not, be one of the remaining nominating bodies) as the body to be the nominating body in the place of the firstmentioned body, and

the body specified under paragraph (a) shall be deemed to be mentioned in section 20B (2) in place of the firstmentioned body and to have nominated any person already nominated by the firstmentioned body.

In this clause, nominating body does not include the Committee.
