19B Prohibition orders against dental technicians and dental prosthetists

(1) If the board is satisfied after an inquiry under section 20, or after the investigation by the Commission under the Health Care Complaints Act 1993 of a complaint of which the Commission is notified under section 20A, that a dental technician or a dental prosthetist poses a substantial risk to the health of members of the public, the board may by order (a "prohibition order") do any one or more of the following:

(a) prohibit the person from providing health services or specified health services for the period specified in the order or permanently,

(b) place such conditions as the board thinks appropriate on the provision of health services or specified health services by the person for the period specified in the order or permanently.

Note: Section 10AK (1) of the Public Health Act 1991 provides that it is an offence for a person to provide a health service in contravention of a prohibition order.

(2) If the board is aware that a person in respect of whom it is proposing to make a prohibition order is registered under a health registration Act other than this Act, the board is, before making the prohibition order, to notify the board constituted under that other Act of the proposed order and give that board an opportunity to make a submission.
