171D Committee must refer certain matters to Tribunal [NSW[#93]
(1) The
Committee must immediately terminate the inquiry if, before or during the
inquiry, the Committee--
(a) forms the opinion the complaint, if
substantiated, may provide grounds for the suspension or cancellation of the
registration of the relevant health practitioner; or
(b) becomes aware the
Council or the Commission has referred the complaint or another complaint
about the practitioner to the Tribunal.
(2) Subsection (1)(a) does not apply
to a complaint that the Council decided not to refer to the Tribunal because
the allegations on which it, and any other pending complaint against the
practitioner, was founded related solely or principally to the practitioner's
physical or mental capacity to practise the practitioner's profession.
(3) If
the Committee terminates an inquiry, it must refer the complaint to the
Tribunal unless it has already been referred to the Tribunal.
(5) The
Committee must inform the Council when it takes any action under this section.
