Chairperson and deputy chairperson of General Medical Assessment Tribunal
199 Chairperson and deputy chairperson of General Medical Assessment Tribunal
The chairperson of the General Medical Assessment Tribunal must preside over meetings of the tribunal.
However, if a deputy chairperson of the tribunal is chosen under section 198(1)(b)(i) to constitute the tribunal for deciding a matter, the deputy chairperson must act as chairperson and preside over meetings of the tribunal for deciding the matter.
Also, if the chairperson of the tribunal is not available to attend to the business of the tribunal, other than deciding a matter mentioned in subsection (2), a deputy chairperson of the tribunal chosen by the chairperson must act as chairperson of the tribunal.
To remove any doubt, it is declared that a deputy chairperson of the tribunal may act as a member of the tribunal only if the deputy chairperson has been chosen for the purpose by the chairperson under subsection (3) or under section 198(1)(b)(i).
