73 Some matters to be dealt with as complaints

(1) If an Impaired Registrants Panel recommends that a registered osteopath agree to conditions being imposed on his or her registration or to being suspended from practising osteopathy and the osteopath fails to agree in accordance with the recommendation, the Board is to deal with the matter that was the subject of the referral to the Panel as a complaint against the osteopath.

(2) If the Panel recommends that a matter referred to it be dealt with as a complaint, the Board is to deal with the matter as a complaint against the osteopath concerned.

(3) In any other case that the Board thinks it appropriate to do so, the Board may treat a matter that has been referred to a Panel as grounds for a complaint under this Act and may deal with the matter accordingly.
