(1) At the completion of the performance
review, the Performance Review Panel may make the recommendations to the
Council about the registered health practitioner the Panel considers
appropriate.
(2) Without limiting subsection (1), if the Panel finds the
professional performance of the registered health practitioner, or a
particular aspect of the professional performance of the practitioner, is
unsatisfactory, the Panel may do any one or more of the following things--
(a)
impose the conditions, relating to the practitioner's practise of the health
profession, it considers appropriate on the practitioner's registration;
(b)
order the practitioner to complete an educational course specified by the
Panel;
(c) order the practitioner to report on the practitioner's practise of
the health profession at the times, in the way and to the persons specified by
the Panel;
(d) order the practitioner to seek and take advice, in relation to
the management of the practitioner's practice, from the persons specified by
the Panel.
(3) The Panel must recommend to the Council that a complaint be
made against the registered health practitioner if the Panel finds the
matter--
(a) raises a significant issue of public health or safety that
requires investigation by the Commission; or
(b) raises a prima facie case of
professional misconduct by the practitioner, or unsatisfactory professional
conduct by the health practitioner.
(4) If the Panel makes a recommendation
that a complaint be made against the registered health practitioner, the
Council must act in accordance with the recommendation.
(5) In any other case
that the Council thinks it appropriate to do so, the Council may make a
complaint in respect of a matter that has been considered by a Performance
Review Panel, after consulting with the Commission.
