The Ministry may, in the case of an invalid carriage or other vehicle provided by it for, or belonging to, any such person as is mentioned in paragraph (1), on such terms and subject to such conditions as it may determine— adapt the vehicle for the purpose of making it suitable for the circumstances of that person; maintain and repair the vehicle; take out insurance policies relating to the vehicle and pay the duty (if any) with which the vehicle is chargeable under the Vehicle Excise and Registration Act 1994; provide a structure for the keeping of the vehicle therein and provide all material and execute all works necessary for the erection of the structure. The Ministry may, on such terms and subject to such conditions as it may determine, make payments by way of grant towards costs incurred by any such person as is mentioned in paragraph (1) in respect of all or any of the following matters in relation to an invalid carriage or other vehicle provided by the Ministry for, or belonging to, that person— the taking of any such action as is referred to in paragraph (2); the purchase of fuel for the purposes of the vehicle, so far as the cost of the purchase is attributable to duties of excise payable in respect of the fuel; the taking of instruction in the driving of the vehicle. In this Article, “invalid carriage” means a mechanically propelled vehicle specially designed and constructed, and not merely adapted, for the use of a person suffering from some physical defect or disability and used solely by such a person. If the Department is satisfied, in the case of a hospital vested in it, that it is reasonable to do so, it may authorise accommodation and services at the hospital in question to be made available, to such extent as it may determine, for patients who give undertakings (or for whom undertakings are given) to pay, in respect of the accommodation and services made available, such charges as the Department may determine and may make and recover such charges as it may determine in respect of such accommodation and services and calculate them on any basis that it considers to be the appropriate commercial basis; but the Department shall do so only if and to the extent that it is satisfied that to do so— will not to a significant extent interfere with the performance by it of any duty imposed on it by this Order or the 2009 Act to provide accommodation or services of any kind; and will not to a significant extent operate to the disadvantage of persons seeking or afforded admission or access to accommodation or services at hospitals vested in the Department (whether as resident or non-resident patients) otherwise than under this Article. The Department may allow accommodation and services to which an authorisation under paragraph (1) relates to be made available in connection with treatment, in pursuance of arrangements made by a medical practitioner or dental practitioner serving (whether in an honorary or paid capacity) on the staff of a hospital vested in it for the treatment of private patients of that practitioner. The Department shall revoke an authorisation under this Article only if and to the extent that it is satisfied that sufficient accommodation and facilities for the private practice of medicine and dentistry are otherwise reasonably available (whether privately or at hospitals vested in it) to meet the reasonable demand for them in the area served by the hospital in question. Where there is provided in any hospital vested in the Ministry accommodation in single rooms or small wards, the Ministry may authorise any such accommodation which is not for the time being needed by any patient on medical grounds to be made available for patients to such extent as it may determine, and may recover such charges as it may determine in respect of such accommodation and calculate them on any basis that it considers to be the appropriate commercial basis. Para. (2) rep. by 1988 NI 24 The Ministry may, by regulations, make provision with respect to the examination and cleanliness of the persons and clothing of pupils in attendance at grant-aided schools and, in particular, where action for the examination or cleansing of a pupil cannot immediately take place, may provide for the exclusion from school of such pupil. Art. 35 rep. by 1992 NI 20 Subject to paragraph (2), arrangements must not be made under Article 15 for the provision of accommodation together with nursing or personal care for persons such as are mentioned in Article 10(1) of the Health and Personal Social Services (Quality, Improvement and Regulation) (Northern Ireland) Order 2003 (residential care homes) unless — the accommodation is to be provided, under the arrangements, in a residential care home or nursing home (within the meaning of that Order); and a person carrying on or managing the home is registered in respect of it under that Order. The Department may by regulations make provision for or in connection with the making of arrangements under Article 15 for the provision of the accommodation in Great Britain, the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man. Any question under this Order as to whether a person is ordinarily resident in the operational area of an authorised HSC trust is to be determined by the trust. Any arrangements made by virtue of this Article shall provide for the making by the HSC trust to the other party thereto of payments in respect of the accommodation provided at such rates as may be determined by or under the arrangements; and, subject to paragraph (7), the trust shall recover from each person for whom accommodation is provided under the arrangements the amount of the refund which he is liable to make in accordance with the following provisions of this Article. Subject to the following provisions of this Article, a person for whom accommodation is provided under any such arrangements shall refund to the HSC trust — where the payments made in respect of him under paragraph (3) include any amount in respect of nursing care by a registered nurse, the amount of such payments less any amount paid in respect of such nursing care; in any other case, the amount of the payments made in respect of him under paragraph (3). In paragraph (4) "nursing care by a registered nurse" means any services provided by a nurse registered under Article 5 of the Nursing and Midwifery Order 2001 (SI 2002 / 253) and involving— the provision of care, or the planning, supervision or delegation of the provision of care, other than any services which, having regard to their nature and the circumstances in which they are provided, do not need to be provided by a nurse so registered. Where a person for whom accommodation is provided, or proposed to be provided, under any such arrangements satisfies the HSC trust that he is unable to make a refund at the full rate determined under paragraph (4)(a) or (b), the trust shall assess his ability to pay, and accordingly determine at what lower rate he shall be liable to make a refund. Regulations may make provision for the assessment, for the purposes of paragraph (5), of a person's ability to pay. Where accommodation in any home or premises is provided for any person under arrangements made by virtue of this Article and the HSC trust , the person concerned and the voluntary organisation or other person managing the home or premises (in this paragraph referred to as “the provider”) agree that this paragraph shall apply— so long as the person concerned makes the payments for which he is liable under sub-paragraph (b), he shall not be liable to make any refund under paragraph (4) or (5) and the trust shall not be liable to make any payment under paragraph (3) in respect of the accommodation provided for him; the person concerned shall be liable to pay to the provider such sums as he would otherwise (under paragraph (4) or (5)) be liable to pay by way of refund to the trust ; and the trust shall be liable to pay to the provider the difference between the sums paid by virtue of sub-paragraph (b) and the payments which, but for sub-paragraph (a), the trust would be liable to pay under paragraph (3). An HSC trust may, on each occasion when it makes arrangements by virtue of this Article for the provision of accommodation for a person and irrespective of his means, limit to such amount as appears to the trust reasonable for him to pay the refunds required from him for his accommodation during a period commencing when the trust began to make the arrangements for accommodation for him and ending not more than 8 weeks after that. Art. 36A rep. by 2002 c. 5 (NI) Each authorised HSC trust shall make arrangements in accordance with Schedule 6 for the purposes of securing the necessary care and attention for persons within its operational area (other than persons in respect of whom a warrant may be issued under Article 129 of the Mental Health Order) who— are suffering from grave chronic disease or, being aged, infirm or physically incapacitated, are living in insanitary conditions; and are unable to devote to themselves, or to receive from persons with whom they reside, or from persons living nearby, proper care and attention.

Where a person— is admitted as a patient to any hospital or is admitted to other accommodation provided under this Order or the 2009 Act; or is removed to any other place under an order made under Schedule 6; and it appears to the appropriate HSC trust that there is danger of loss of, or damage to, any property of his by reason of his temporary or permanent inability to protect or deal with the property, and that other suitable arrangements have not been, or are not being made to prevent or mitigate the loss or damage, the trust shall take reasonable steps for that purpose. The “appropriate HSC trust” is the HSC trust in whose operational area the person resides. Paragraph (1) shall have effect in relation to persons suffering from mental disorder as if— the reference to “hospital” included a reference to a private hospital within the meaning of the Mental Health Order; and after sub-paragraph ( b) there were inserted the following words— or is subject to guardianship under the Mental Health Order; For the purpose of discharging the duty of an HSC trust under paragraph (1), a person authorised in writing by the trust may, at all reasonable times, enter any premises which, immediately before the person mentioned in that paragraph was admitted or removed as aforesaid, were his place of residence or usual place of residence and may deal with any property of his in any way which is reasonably necessary to prevent or mitigate loss thereof or damage thereto. An HSC trust may recover from a person admitted or removed as aforesaid, or from any person who, for the purposes of this Order, is liable to maintain him, any reasonable expenses incurred by it in relation to him under the foregoing provisions of this Article. An authorised HSC trust may cause to be buried or cremated the body of a deceased person who, immediately before his death, was being provided with accommodation under this Order or the 2009 Act by the trust . The trust may recover from the estate of such deceased person, or from any person who, for the purposes of this Order, was liable to maintain the deceased person immediately before his death, expenses incurred under paragraph (1),. . . . Where the relatives of any deceased person are not known or are, by reason of their absence, poverty or otherwise, unable to defray all or part of the expenses of burying or cremating that person, the trust may defray the whole or part of such expenses. Nothing in this Article shall affect any enactment regulating or authorising the burial, cremation or anatomical examination of the body of a deceased person; and a body shall not be cremated under this Article where the trust has reason to believe that cremation would be contrary to the wishes of the deceased. Art. 40 rep. by 1988 NI 23 The Ministry may allow persons to make use, on such terms and conditions as it thinks fit, of any services the provision of which is involved in the provision of personal social services under this Order or the 2009 Act; and it may, in the case of services the provision of which is so involved, provide them to an extent greater than that necessitated by the provision of personal social services under this Order or the 2009 Act if it thinks it expedient to do so in order to allow persons to make use of them. The Ministry may make available any services provided under this Order or the 2009 Act to such persons or classes of persons not ordinarily resident in Northern Ireland to such an extent and subject to such conditions as may be prescribed. Where services are provided under paragraph (1) the Ministry may, subject to such exemptions as may be prescribed and subject to paragraph (3), determine charges for such services and recover them in accordance with paragraphs 3 and 4 of Schedule 15. Regulations may provide that charges under paragraph (2) are only to be made in such cases as may be determined in accordance with the regulations. The Ministry may conduct or promote, or assist (by grant or otherwise) any person in conducting, research into— any matter relating to the causation, prevention, diagnosis or treatment of illness, or into such other matters relating to the health care as it thinks fit; any matter relating to the social care. The Ministry may, either directly or by entering into arrangements with others,— provide training for persons with a view to, or in the course of, their employment or use of their services in the health or social care in Northern Ireland, in a related service in Great Britain, or by a voluntary organisation approved by the Ministry; allow training provided under this paragraph to be given to persons other than persons described in sub-paragraph ( a), and may, under this paragraph, provide such training to an extent greater than that necessitated by the requirements of persons so described if it is thought expedient to do so in order to allow such other persons to receive such training; provide material and premises necessary for, or in connection with, the provision of any training referred to in sub-paragraph ( a) or ( b); provide training under this paragraph on such terms as the Ministry thinks fit. The Ministry may, subject to such conditions as it may determine,— make grants towards any fees or expenses incurred by, or defray or contribute towards the cost of maintenance of, persons undergoing training for any of the purposes of this Order. The Ministry may, subject to such conditions as it may determine, pay the fees of, or make grants to, any body or persons providing training under paragraph (1). The Ministry may, by regulations, provide for the payment by the Department or an HSC trust in accordance with prescribed scales and in such circumstances as may be prescribed, of the whole or part of any travelling or other out-of-pocket expenses necessarily incurred— by any person of a prescribed description for the purpose of availing himself of— such services under this Order, the 1991 Order or the 2009 Act as may be prescribed; by any person accompanying such person as is mentioned in paragraph ( a); by any relative being a person of a prescribed description, visiting a person availing himself of services under this Order or the 2009 Act. and such regulations may provide for the reimbursement by the Department to an HSC trust of payments made by the trust by virtue of this paragraph. Paragraph 1B of Schedule 15 (powers to prescribe descriptions of persons) shall have effect in relation to paragraph (1) as it has effect in relation to paragraph 1(b) of that Schedule. The Ministry may provide, on such terms and conditions as may be agreed, residential accommodation for— officers employed for the purposes of any of its functions under this Order or the 2009 Act; officers employed by a voluntary organisation for the purposes of any services provided under this Order or the 2009 Act. The Ministry may make loans to such officers employed for the purposes of any of the health or social care and subject to such conditions as the Ministry, with the approval. . . of the Ministry of Finance, may determine to facilitate such officers in the purchase of motor cars or motor cycles essential to the efficient carrying out of their official duties. The Ministry may acquire by agreement or compulsorily in accordance with the following provisions of this Article any land which in its opinion is required for the purposes of health or social care, and any land held by it for those purposes may, if in the opinion of the Ministry it is no longer required for those purposes, be disposed of by it or be appropriated by it for other purposes of the Ministry. Where the Department proposes to dispose of any land and is of the opinion that it is necessary, in order to facilitate that disposal, to acquire land adjoining that land, then, notwithstanding that the acquisition of that adjoining land is not required for the purposes of health or social care, the Department may acquire by agreement that adjoining land. Where the Ministry in exercise of the power conferred by paragraph (1) desires to acquire any land otherwise than by agreement, the Ministry may make an order (in this Article referred to as a “vesting order”) vesting the land in the Ministry. Schedule 6 to the Local Government Act (Northern Ireland) 1972 shall, subject to the modifications thereof specified in Schedule 7 to this Order, apply for the purposes of the acquisition of land by means of a vesting order made under this Article in the same manner as it applies to the acquisition of land by means of a vesting order under that Act. The power to make a vesting order in respect of land— which is the property of any public body which has power under any transferred provision to acquire land compulsorily, or which is declared by or under any transferred provision to be inalienable, shall not, where representations objecting to the proposal for making the order have been duly made by the owner of the land and have not been withdrawn, be exercised in relation to that land unless the proposal for making the order has been approved by a resolution of each House of Parliament. Nothing in this Article shall authorise the Ministry to acquire, without the consent of the Ministry of Finance, any land on or in which there is, to the knowledge of the Ministry, any historic monument or archaeological object. In paragraph (5), “historic monument” and “archaeological object” have the same meanings as in the Historic Monuments and Archaeological Objects (Northern Ireland) Order 1995. A person authorised in writing by the Ministry (in this Article and in Article 50 referred to as an “authorised person”) may, on production if required of his credentials, at any reasonable time enter any land for the purpose of survey, valuation or examination— where the Ministry proposes to acquire the land otherwise than by agreement, or where it appears to the Ministry that survey, valuation or examination is necessary in order to determine whether any functions of the Ministry under Article 48 should be exercised on or with respect to the land. A power of entry under paragraph (1) shall not be exercisable in relation to any land except— with consent given by the occupier of the land; or after at least twenty-four hours' notice of the intended entry has been served on the occupier or owner of the land. If any person, other than the owner or occupier of the land, knowingly prevents an authorised person from carrying out anything which the authorised person is duly authorised to do or obstructs the authorised person in carrying out any such thing, he shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 2 on the standard scale. If any person, being the owner or occupier of land, knowingly prevents an authorised person from duly carrying into effect any survey, valuation or examination of such land or obstructs the authorised person in doing any such survey, valuation or examination, a court of summary jurisdiction on proof thereof may order him to permit to be done on the land all things requisite for carrying into effect such survey, valuation or examination; and, if he fails to comply with the order, he shall be guilty of an offence and shall, for every day during which the failure continues, be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 2 on the standard scale. Where under this Article an authorised person enters any land, he shall ensure that the land is not left less secure by reason of the entry, and the Ministry shall make good or pay compensation for any damage to property caused by, or in consequence of, the authorised person exercising any right or failing to perform any duty under this Article. Any question of disputed compensation under this Article shall be referred to and determined by the Lands Tribunal. Any reference in this Article to an occupier or to an owner shall be construed as including a reference to a person appointed in writing by the occupier or owner as his representative for purposes including all or any of the purposes of this Article. Any power conferred by this Article shall be construed as including power to search and bore for the purpose of ascertaining the course of any sewers or drains or of ascertaining the nature of the subsoil therein and to take and carry away for examination specimens of the subsoil found therein. Any person authorised by the Department may at any reasonable time enter and inspect any premises (other than premises in respect of which any person is registered under Part III of the Health and Personal Social Services (Quality, Improvement and Regulation) (Northern Ireland) 2003) in which services are, or are proposed to be, provided by any person or body under arrangements made with the Department under this Order. Any person inspecting any premises under this Article may— make such examination into the state and management of the premises and the services provided therein as he thinks fit; inspect any records (in whatever form they are held) relating to the premises, or any person for whom services have been or are to be provided there; and require the owner of, or any person employed in, the premises to furnish him with such information as he may request. Any person exercising the power to inspect records conferred by paragraph (2)(b)— shall be entitled at any reasonable time to have access to, and inspect and check the operation of, any computer and any associated apparatus or material which is or has been in use in connection with the records in question; and may require— the person by whom or on whose behalf the computer is or has been so used; or any person having charge of or otherwise concerned with the operation of the computer, apparatus or material, to give him such reasonable assistance as he may require. Any person inspecting any premises under this Article— may interview any person residing there in private— for the purpose of investigating any complaint as to those premises or the services provided there, or if he has reason to believe that the services being provided there for that person are not satisfactory; and may examine any such person in private. No person may— exercise the power conferred by paragraph (2)(b) so as to inspect medical records; or exercise the power conferred by paragraph (4)(b), unless he is a medical practitioner and, in the case of the power conferred by paragraph (2)(b), the records relate to medical treatment given at the premises in question. Any person exercising the power of entry under paragraph (1) shall, if so required, produce some duly authenticated document showing his authority to do so. Any person who intentionally obstructs another in the exercise of that power shall be guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale. In this Article “services” includes facilities and accommodation. If the Ministry is satisfied, after such investigation as it thinks fit, that any list prepared under this Order— of medical practitioners undertaking to provide primary medical services; or of dental practitioners undertaking to provide general dental services; or of persons undertaking to provide general ophthalmic services; or of persons undertaking to provide pharmaceutical services; or of persons undertaking to provide any other services; is not such as to secure the adequate provision of the services in question, or that for any other reason any considerable number of persons are not receiving satisfactory services under the arrangements in force under this Order or the 2009 Act, the Ministry may ... make such other arrangements as appear to the Ministry to be necessary. If the Ministry is of the opinion that an emergency exists and thinks it necessary to do so in order to secure the effective continuance of any service under the health and social care legislation, the Ministry may direct that any functions conferred by or under the health and social care legislation on any body or person shall during the period of the emergency be performed by such other body or person as the Ministry may specify in the direction. In this Article and Article 53 “the health and social care legislation” means— this Order; the Adoption (Northern Ireland) Order 1987; the Health and Personal Social Services (Special Agencies) (Northern Ireland) Order 1990; the 1991 Order; the Health and Personal Social Services (Northern Ireland) Order 1994; and the Children (Northern Ireland) Order 1995. the Health Services (Primary Care) (Northern Ireland) Order 1997;and the 2009 Act. Where the Department is of opinion, on representations made to it or otherwise, that any body to which this Article applies has failed to discharge any functions conferred or imposed on it under the health and social care legislation, or has in carrying out those functions failed to comply with any regulations, schemes, proposals or directions relating thereto, the Ministry may after holding an inquiry make an order declaring it to be in default. This Article applies to the following bodies— the Regional Agency; RBSO; HSC trusts; and special agencies. When such an order is made the members of the body shall forthwith vacate their office and the order shall provide for the appointment, in accordance with the appropriate provisions of the health and social care legislation, of new members of the body, and may contain such provisions as seem to the Ministry expedient for authorising any person to act in the place of the body in question pending the appointment of the new members. An order under this Article may contain such supplementary and incidental provisions as appear to the Ministry to be necessary or expedient. Art. 54 rep. by 2005 c. 12 Para. (1) rep. by 2004 NI 2 The Department may recognise a committee formed for an area which it is satisfied is representative of— the dental practitioners providing general dental services in that area; those dental practitioners and the deputy dental practitioners for that area; or the dental practitioners mentioned in— sub-paragraph (a); or sub-paragraph (b), and the Article 15B dental practitioners for that area, and any committee so recognised shall be called the Local Dental Committee for the area. Where the Department is satisfied that a committee formed for an area is representative— of the ophthalmic medical practitioners and ophthalmic opticians providing general ophthalmic services in that area, or of the persons providing pharmaceutical services in that area, the Department may recognise that committee; and any committee so recognised shall be called the Local Optical Committee or the Local Pharmaceutical Committee, as the case may be, for the area concerned. Any committee recognised under this Article may with the approval of the Department delegate any of its functions, with or without restrictions or conditions, to sub-committees composed of members of that committee. For the purposes of this Article and Article 55A, a person who meets the condition in paragraph (6)— Sub-paras. (a) and (b) rep. by 2004 NI 2 is a deputy dental practitioner for an area if he is a dental practitioner who assists a dental practitioner providing general dental services in that area in the provision of those services . . . ; is an Article 15B dental practitioner for an area if he is a dental practitioner who provides or performs personal dental services in accordance with arrangements made under Article 15B by the Department (whether with himself or another). The condition referred to in paragraph (5) is that the person concerned has notified the Department that he wishes to be represented under this Article by the appropriate committee for the area (and has not notified it that he wishes to cease to be so represented). For the purposes of paragraph (5)— a person is to be treated as assisting a. . . dental practitioner in the provision of services if he is employed by that practitioner for that purpose or if he acts as his deputy in providing those services; . . . Regulations may require the Department — in the exercise of its functions under this Part to consult committees recognised by it under Article 55; in the exercise of any of its functions which relate to arrangements under Article 15B to consult committees recognised by it under Article 55(2)(c), on such occasions and to such extent as may be prescribed. The power conferred by paragraph (1) is without prejudice to any other duty on the Department to consult any committee recognised under Article 55. Committees recognised under Article 55 shall exercise such other functions as may be prescribed. A committee recognised for an area under paragraph (2)(b) or (c) of Article 55 shall, in respect of each year, determine the amount of its administrative expenses for that year attributable— in the case of a committee recognised under paragraph (2)(b) or (c)(ii) of that Article, to the deputy dental practitioners for the area; in the case of a committee recognised under paragraph (2)(c) of that Article, to the Article 15B dental practitioners for the area. The Department may, on the request of any committee recognised under Article 55 for an area, allot to that committee such sums for defraying the committee's administrative expenses as may be determined by the Department . Any sums so allotted shall be out of the moneys available to the Department for the remuneration of persons of whom the committee so recognised is representative and who provide. . . , general dental services, general ophthalmic services or pharmaceutical services, as the case may be, under this Part. The amount of any such sums shall be deducted from the remuneration of those persons in such manner as may be determined by the Department . Where a committee has made a determination under paragraph (4), it shall apportion the amount so determined among the. . . , deputy dental practitioners or Article 15B dental practitioners, as the case may be, for the area and each such practitioner shall pay in accordance with the committee's directions the amount so apportioned to him. References in this Article to administrative expenses of a committee include references to travelling and subsistence allowances payable to its members; but the reference in paragraph (5) to a committee's administrative expenses does not include so much of the committee's administrative expenses as are determined under paragraph (4) to be attributable to any practitioners mentioned in that paragraph. The Department may recognise a committee formed for an area, which it is satisfied is representative of— the persons to whom paragraph (2) applies; and the persons to whom paragraph (3) applies. This paragraph applies to— every medical practitioner who, under a general medical services contract entered into by him, is providing primary medical services in the area for which the committee is formed; and every medical practitioner who is providing general ophthalmic services in that area. This paragraph applies to every other medical practitioner— who is performing primary medical services in the area for which the committee is formed; pursuant to Article 56(2)(a); in accordance with Article 15B arrangements; or under a general medical services contract; and who has notified the Department that he wishes to be represented by the committee (and has not notified it that he wishes to cease to be so represented). A committee recognised under this Article shall be called the Local Medical Committee for the area for which it is formed. Any such committee may delegate any of its functions, with or without restrictions or conditions, to sub-committees composed of members of that committee. Regulations may require the Department , in the exercise of its functions relating to primary medical services, to consult any committee recognised by it under this Article on such occasions and to such extent as may be prescribed. A committee recognised under this Article shall have such other functions as may be prescribed. A committee recognised under this Article shall in respect of each year determine— the amount of its administrative expenses for that year attributable to persons of whom it is representative under paragraph (1)(a); and the amount of its administrative expenses for that year attributable to persons of whom it is representative under paragraph (1)(b). The Department may— on the request of a committee recognised by it, allot to that committee such sums for defraying the expenses referred to in paragraph (8)(a) as it may determine; and deduct the amount of such sums from the remuneration of persons of whom it is representative under paragraph (1)(a) under the general medical services contracts, or arrangements under Article 62, entered into by them with the Department . A committee recognised under this Article shall apportion the amount determined by it under paragraph (8)(b) among the persons of whom it is representative under paragraph (1)(b); and each such person shall pay in accordance with the committee's directions the amount so apportioned to him. References in this Article to the administrative expenses of a committee include the travelling and subsistence allowances payable to its members. The Department shall, to the extent that it considers necessary to meet all reasonable requirements, ... provide primary medical services . . . , or secure their provision . . . . The Department may (in addition to any other power conferred on it)— provide primary medical services itself . . . ; make such arrangements for their provision . . . as it thinks fit, and may in particular make contractual arrangements with any person. The Department shall publish information about such matters as may be prescribed in relation to the primary medical services provided under this Part. A body on which functions are conferred under this Article shall co-operate with any other such body in the discharge of their respective functions relating to the provision of primary medical services under this Part. Regulations may provide that services of a prescribed description are, or are not, to be regarded as primary medical services for the purposes of this Part. Regulations under this Article may in particular describe services by reference to the manner or circumstances in which they are provided. The Department may enter into a contract under which primary medical services are provided in accordance with the following provisions of this Part. A contract under this Article is called in this Order a “general medical services contract”. Subject to any provision made by or under this Part, a general medical services contract may make such provision as may be agreed between the Department and the contractor or contractors in relation to— the services to be provided under the contract, remuneration under the contract, and any other matters. The services to be provided under a general medical services contract may include— services which are not primary medical services; In this Part, “contractor”, in relation to a general medical services contract, means any person entering into the contract with the Department . A general medical services contract shall require the contractor or contractors to provide, for his or their patients, primary medical services of such descriptions as may be prescribed. Regulations under paragraph (1) may in particular describe services by reference to the manner or circumstances in which they are provided. The Department may, subject to such conditions as may be prescribed, enter into a general medical services contract with— a medical practitioner; two or more individuals practising in partnership where the conditions in paragraph (2) are satisfied; or a company limited by shares where the conditions in paragraph (3) are satisfied. The conditions referred to in paragraph (1)(b) in relation to a partnership are that— at least one partner is a medical practitioner; and any partner who is not a medical practitioner is either— an HSC employee; an Article 15B employee, a section 28C employee or a section 17C employee; a health care professional who is engaged in the provision of services under this Order; or an individual falling within Article 15C(1)(b)(iii). The conditions referred to in paragraph (1)(c) in relation to a company are that— at least one share in the company is legally and beneficially owned by a medical practitioner; and any share which is not so owned is legally and beneficially owned by a person referred to in paragraph (2)(b)(i) to (iv). Regulations may make provision as to the effect, in relation to a general medical services contract entered into by individuals practising in partnership, of a change in the membership of the partnership. “health care professional” has the same meaning as in Article 15C; “ HSC employee”, “Article 15B employee”, “section 28C employee” and “section 17C employee” have the same meaning as in Article 15C. The Department may make a scheme providing for payments to be made under general medical services contracts. A general medical services contract must require payments to be made under the contract in accordance with any scheme for the time being in force under this Article. Without prejudice to the generality of the power under paragraph (1) a scheme under that paragraph may— provide for payments to be made by reference to compliance with standards or the achievement of levels of performance; provide for payments to be made by reference to— any method of calculation or scale specified in the scheme ; or a determination made by any person in accordance with factors specified in the scheme ; provide for the making of payments in respect of individual practitioners; provide that the whole or any part of a payment is subject to conditions (and may provide that payments are payable by the Department only if it is satisfied as to certain conditions) make provision having effect from a date before the date of the scheme , provided that, having regard to the scheme as a whole, the provision is not detrimental to the persons to whose remuneration it relates. Before making a scheme under paragraph (1), the Department— shall consult any body appearing to it to be representative of persons to whose remuneration the scheme would relate, and may consult such other persons as it thinks appropriate. The Department must publish a scheme under paragraph (1) in such manner as it thinks appropriate.

The Ministry may pay to each of the committees appointed under paragraph (8) of Schedule 2 to the Health Visiting and Social Work (Training) Act 1962 to act as advisory committees in Northern Ireland to each of the Councils established under that Act such sums as may be necessary to defray the expenditure incurred by the committee with the approval of the Ministry. The Ministry may pay to any other body established by or under any Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom and exercising any functions in relation to services provided under this Order, such sums as may be necessary to defray that portion of that body's expenditure which may be deemed to be incurred in relation to Northern Ireland and is not met out of money provided by the Parliament of the United Kingdom. The Ministry shall pay to the Health Education Council Limited such sums as may be necessary to defray that portion of the Council's expenditure which may be deemed to be incurred in relation to Northern Ireland and is not met out of money provided by the Parliament of the United Kingdom.

The Ministry of Finance may borrow money for the purpose of providing money for issues out of the Consolidated Fund under paragraph (1). Where a right to choose the person by whom services are to be provided under this Order is conferred by or under any provision of this Order, that right shall, in the case of such persons as may be prescribed, be exercisable on their behalf by other prescribed persons. Where the character and associations of any hospital through which services are being or are to be provided under this Order are such as to link that hospital with a particular religious denomination, regard shall be had in the general administration of the hospital and in the making of appointments to the HSC trust administering the hospital to the preservation of the character and associations of the hospital. An officer of a health and social care body shall not be personally liable in respect of any act done by him in the execution of any function of any such body and within the scope of his employment if he acted reasonably and in the honest belief that his duty required or empowered him to do it; but nothing in this paragraph shall be construed as relieving such a body of any liability in respect of acts of its officers. Where an action has been brought against an officer of a body such as is mentioned in paragraph (1) in respect of an act done by him in the execution or purported execution of any such function and the circumstances are such that he is not legally entitled to require that body to indemnify him, that body may nevertheless indemnify him against the whole or a part of any damages or costs which he may have been ordered to pay or may have incurred, if that body is satisfied that he honestly believed that the act complained of was within the scope of his employment and that his duty required or empowered him to do it. The services provided under this Order or the 1991 Order or the Health Services (Primary Care) (Northern Ireland) Order 1997or the 2009 Act shall be free of charge, except where any provision contained in or made under this Order or the Health Services (Primary Care) (Northern Ireland) Order 1997or the 2009 Act expressly provides for the making and recovery of charges. The provisions of Schedule 15 shall have effect in relation to the making and recovery of certain charges and to the other matters mentioned in that Schedule. Where a person is provided under Article 15 with accommodation in premises provided by an HSC trust , the trust shall recover from him the amount of the payment which he is liable to make in accordance with the following provisions of this Article. Subject to the following provisions of this Article, the payment which a person is liable to make for any such accommodation shall be in accordance with a standard rate determined by the Department for that accommodation .... Different rates may be determined under paragraph (2) for (in particular)— different descriptions of accommodation; accommodation provided by different trusts. The standard rate determined for accommodation provided by any trust must represent the full cost to the trust of providing that accommodation, other than any costs in respect of nursing care by a registered nurse (within the meaning given by Article 36(4A)) at that accommodation. Subject to paragraph (4), where a person for whom such accommodation is provided, or proposed to be provided, satisfies the trust that he is unable to pay for the accommodation at the standard rate, the trust shall assess his ability to pay, and accordingly determine at what lower rate he shall be liable to pay for the accommodation. The liability of any person to pay for accommodation under this Article may be reduced by reason of any work which he performs and which assists materially in the management of the premises. Regulations may make provision for the assessment, for the purposes of paragraph (3), of a person's ability to pay. An HSC trust may, on each occasion when it provides accommodation mentioned in paragraph (1) for any person and irrespective of his means, limit to such amount as appears to the trust reasonable for him to pay the payments required from him for his accommodation during a period commencing when the trust began to provide the accommodation for him and ending not more than 8 weeks after that. a man shall be liable to maintain his spouse or civil partner and his children; and a woman shall be liable to maintain her spouse or civil partner and her children. Any reference in paragraph (1) to a person's children shall be construed in accordance with Article 155 of the Children (Northern Ireland) Order 1995. Where under Article 15 or 36 accommodation is provided, or proposed to be provided, for any person (in this Article referred to as a “person accommodated”), the appropriate HSC trust may bring proceedings upon complaint under Part VIII of the Magistrates' Courts (Northern Ireland) Order 1981 against any other person who, for the purposes of this Order, is liable to maintain the person accommodated. The “appropriate HSC trust” is the trust that provided the accommodation, or arranged or secured its provision, or (as the case may be) proposed the provision of it. On hearing a complaint under this Article, the court shall have regard to all the circumstances and, in particular, to the resources of the defendant, and may order the defendant to pay such sum, weekly or otherwise, as the court may consider appropriate. In this Article, “the court” means the court of summary jurisdiction having jurisdiction in the place where the accommodation was provided or applied for. Payments under paragraph (2) shall be made— to the trust , in respect of the cost of accommodation, whether provided before or after the making of the order; or to the applicant for accommodation or any other person, being a person accommodated; or to such other person as appears to the court expedient in the interests of the person accommodated; or as to part in one such manner and as to part in another, as may be provided by the order. The payments to be made pursuant to an order under this Article shall (irrespective of the recipient thereof) inure for the benefit of the trust . Subject to the following provisions of this Article, where— accommodation is provided under Article 15 or 36 for any person; and that person knowingly and with the intention of avoiding charges for the accommodation— has transferred any asset to which this Article applies to some other person or persons not more than 6 months before the date on which he begins to reside in such accommodation; or transfers any such asset to some other person or persons while residing in the accommodation; and either— the consideration for the transfer is less than the value of the asset; or there is no consideration for the transfer, the person or persons to whom the asset is transferred by the person for whom the accommodation is provided shall be liable to pay to the appropriate HSC trust the difference between the amount assessed as due to be paid for the accommodation by the person for whom the accommodation is provided and the amount which the trust receives from him for it. This Article applies to cash and any other asset which falls to be taken into account for the purpose of assessing under Article 36 or 99 the ability of the person for whom accommodation is provided to pay for it or (as the case may be) to make a refund to the appropriate HSC trust in respect of it. “The appropriate HSC trust” is the trust that provided the accommodation, or arranged or secured the provision of it. Paragraph (1) shall have effect in relation to a transfer by a person who leaves accommodation provided under Article 15 or 36 and subsequently resumes residence in such accommodation as if the period of 6 months mentioned in sub-paragraph (b)(i) were a period of 6 months before the date on which he resumed residence in such accommodation. If the Department so directs, paragraph (1) shall not apply in such cases as may be specified in the direction. Where a person has transferred an asset to which this Article applies to more than one person, the liability of each of the persons to whom it is transferred shall be in proportion to the benefit accruing to him from the transfer. A person's liability under this Article shall not exceed the benefit accruing to him from the transfer. Subject to paragraph (7), the value of any asset to which this Article applies, other than cash, which has been transferred shall be taken to be the amount of the consideration which would have been realised for it if it had been sold on the open market by a willing seller at the time of the transfer. For the purpose of calculating the value of an asset under paragraph (6) there shall be deducted from the amount of the consideration— the amount of any incumbrance on the asset; and a reasonable amount in respect of the expenses of the sale. Art. 102 rep. by 1995 NI 2 Where a person persistently refuses or neglects to maintain himself or any person whom he is liable to maintain for the purposes of this Order and, in consequence of his refusal or neglect, the Ministry provides or secures the provision of accommodation under Article 15 for that person or any other person, he shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on summary conviction— where the accommodation was provided for him, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months; in any other case, to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months, or to both. For the purposes of this Article, a person shall not be deemed to refuse or neglect to maintain himself or any other person by reason only of anything done or omitted in furtherance of a trade dispute.

Loans to practitioners providing primary medical services (GP loans”) are to be made in accordance with a scheme that is provided for in regulations made, with the approval of the Department of Finance, by the Department. Regulations under paragraph 1A may include provision for— the guaranteeing by the Department of Finance of the payment of interest on, and the repayment of the principal of, any loan raised by the Department for the purpose of making GP loans; securing repayment of the interest on, and the principal of, any GP loans ; authorising the Department to hold and dispose of any land or property conveyed to it as security for a GP loan; the defrayal of expenses incurred in making GP loans . No regulations may be made under paragraph 1A unless a draft of the regulations has been laid before and approved by resolution of the Assembly. Where regulations under paragraph 1A authorise the Department of Finance to guarantee the payment of interest on, and the repayment of the principal of, any loan proposed to be raised by the Department — the principal of the loans which may be so guaranteed under the regulations shall not exceed in the aggregate a sum specified in the scheme ; there shall be charged on and issued out of the Consolidated Fund any sums required by the Department of Finance to fulfil any guarantees given by it under the regulations ; the Department of Finance may borrow money for the purpose of providing for issues out of the Consolidated Fund under sub-paragraph ( b); the Department shall make to the Department of Finance , at such times and in such manner as the Department of Finance may direct— payments of such amounts as the Department of Finance may direct in or towards repayment of any sums issued out of the Consolidated Fund under sub-paragraph ( b); and payments of interest on what is outstanding in respect of sums so issued, at such rates as the Department of Finance may direct. It is unlawful to sell the goodwill of the medical practice of a person who has at any time— provided primary medical services under arrangements made with a Health and Social Services Board under this Order; or provided or performed personal medical services in accordance with Article 15B arrangements made with a Health and Social Services Board. (prior to the coming into operation of Article 3 of the Primary Medical Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2004) or provided or performed primary medical services in accordance with Article 15B arrangements, arrangements under Article 56B(2)(b) or under a general medical services contract⿿ in prescribed circumstances, or if regulations so provide, in all circumstances; unless that person no longer provides or performs such services ... . . . . “goodwill” includes any part of goodwill and, in relation to a person practising in partnership, means his share of the goodwill of the partnership practice; “medical practice” includes any part of a medical practice. Any person who sells or buys the goodwill of a medical practice which it is unlawful to sell by virtue of paragraph 1 is guilty of an offence and liable on conviction on indictment to a fine not exceeding— such amount as will in the court's opinion secure that he derive no benefit from the offence; and the further amount of £500; or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding three months, or to both such fine and such imprisonment. Any person proposing to be a party to a transaction or series of transactions which he thinks might amount to a sale of the goodwill of a medical practice in contravention of paragraph 1 may ask the Department for a certificate under this paragraph. The Department shall consider any such application, and, if it is satisfied that the transaction or series of transactions does not involve the giving of valuable consideration in respect of the goodwill of such a medical practice, it shall issue to the applicant a certificate to that effect, which shall be in the prescribed form and shall set out all material circumstances disclosed to the Department . Where any person is charged with an offence under this paragraph in respect of any transaction or series of transactions, it shall be a defence to the charge to prove that the transaction or series of transactions was certified by the Department under sub-paragraph (3). Any document purporting to be such a certificate shall be admissible in evidence and shall be deemed to be such a certificate unless the contrary is proved. If it appears to the court that the applicant for any such certificate failed to disclose to the Department all the material circumstances, or made any misrepresentation with respect thereto, the court may disregard the certificate, and sub-paragraph (4) shall not apply thereto. A prosecution for an offence under this paragraph shall only be instituted by or with the consent of the Director of Public Prosecutions, and the Department shall, at the request of the Director, furnish him with a copy of any certificate issued by it under sub-paragraph (3), and with copies of any documents produced to it in connection with the application for that certificate. For the purposes of paragraphs 1 and 2, a disposal of premises previously used for the purposes of a medical practice shall be deemed to be a sale of the goodwill of a medical practice if— the person disposing of the premises did so knowing that another person ( “A”) intended to use them for the purposes of A's medical practice; and the consideration for the disposal substantially exceeded the consideration that might reasonably have been expected if the premises had not previously been used for the purposes of a medical practice. If a person disposes of any premises together with any other property, the court shall, for the purposes of sub-paragraph (1), make such apportionment of the consideration as it thinks just. For the purposes of sub-paragraphs (1) and (2)— “disposal” means any sale, letting or other form of disposal (whether by a single transaction or a series of transactions); and a person who procures the disposal of any premises is to be treated as having disposed of them. Where in pursuance of any partnership agreement— any valuable consideration, other than the performance of services in the partnership business, is given by a partner or proposed partner as consideration for his being taken into partnership; any valuable consideration is given to a partner, on or in contemplation of his retirement or of his acceptance of a reduced share of the partnership profits, or to the personal representative of a partner on his death, not being a payment in respect of that partner's share in past earnings of the partnership or in any partnership assets or any other payment required to be made to him as the result of the final settlement of accounts, as between him and the other partners, in respect of past transactions of the partnership; or services are performed by any partner for a consideration substantially less than those services might reasonably have been expected to be worth having regard to the circumstances at the time when the agreement was made, there shall be deemed for the purposes of paragraphs 1 and 2 to have been a sale of the goodwill of the practice of any partner to whom, or to whose personal representative, the consideration or any part thereof is given or, as the case may be, for whose benefit the services are performed, to the partner or each of the partners by or on whose behalf the consideration or any part thereof was given or, as the case may be, the partner who performed the services, and the said sale shall be deemed for the purposes of sub-paragraphs (1) and (2) to have been effected— in a case to which head (a) or head (b) applies, at the time when the consideration was given, or, if the consideration was not all given at the same time, at the time when the first part thereof was given; or in a case to which head (c) applies, at the time when the agreement was made. Sub-paragraph (6) applies if a person ( “the assistant”)— performs services on behalf of a person who carries on a medical practice (or as an employee of a person employing a practitioner who carries on a medical practice); receives substantially less remuneration for performing those services than might reasonably have been expected, having regard to the circumstances at the time when the remuneration was fixed; and subsequently succeeds, whether as a result of a partnership agreement or otherwise, to that practice. For the purposes of paragraphs 1 and 2, a sale of the goodwill of the practice is to be deemed to have taken place (at the time when the remuneration was fixed), unless it is proved that the remuneration was not fixed in contemplation of the assistant's succeeding to the practice. For the purposes of paragraphs 1 and 2, the goodwill of a medical practice shall be deemed to have been sold if— a person carrying on the practice (or employing a practitioner who carries on a medical practice) agrees, for valuable consideration— to do or refrain from doing any act, for the purpose of facilitating the succession of another person to the practice; or to allow any act to be done, for that purpose; or a person— gives valuable consideration to a person carrying on the practice (or employing a practitioner who carries on a medical practice); and succeeds, or has previously succeeded, to the practice. Sub-paragraph (7) does not apply— if it is proved that no part of the consideration was given in respect of the goodwill; or to anything done— in relation to the acquisition of premises for the purposes of a medical practice; in pursuance of a partnership agreement; or in the performance of medical services by one person as an assistant to another. In determining for the purposes of this Schedule the consideration given in respect of any transaction, the court shall have regard to any other transaction appearing to the court to be associated with the first transaction, and shall estimate the total consideration given in respect of both or all the transactions, and apportion it between those transactions in such manner as it thinks just. For the purposes of this Schedule— consideration is deemed to be given to a person ( “B”) if— it is given to another person but with B's knowledge and consent; and it appears to the court that B has derived, or will derive, a substantial benefit from the giving of the consideration; and unless the context otherwise requires, references to a person include, in the case of an individual who has died, references to his personal representative. The fact that a person's medical practice was previously carried on by another person who at any time provided or performed services as specified in paragraph 1(1) does not, by itself, make it unlawful under paragraph 1 for the goodwill of his practice to be sold. There shall continue to be a tribunal ( “the Tribunal”) constituted in accordance with Part II for the purposes set out in this Part. Subject to the provisions of this paragraph, if the Tribunal receives from the Department representations that a person who has applied to be included in any list, or who is included in any list, meets any of the conditions for disqualification which may apply in that person's case, the Tribunal must inquire into the case. If the Tribunal receives such representations from any other person, it may inquire into the case. Representations under this paragraph shall be made— in the prescribed manner; and where . . . regulations prescribe the time within which such representations are to be made, within that time. Sub-paragraphs (6) to (11) apply for the purposes of this Schedule. The first condition for disqualification is that— in relation to a list referred to in sub-paragraph (8)(a) or (c), the inclusion or continued inclusion of the person concerned in the list would be prejudicial to the efficiency of the services which those included in the list perform; or in relation to a list referred to in sub-paragraph (8)(d) or (e), the continued inclusion of the person concerned in the list would be prejudicial to the efficiency of the services which those included in the list undertake to provide. The second condition for disqualification is that the person concerned— has (whether on his own or together with another) by an act or omission caused, or risked causing, detriment to any health scheme by securing or trying to secure for himself or another any financial or other benefit; and knew that he or (as the case may be) the other was not entitled to the benefit. Subject to sub-paragraph (7B), the third condition for disqualification is that the person concerned is unsuitable (by virtue of professional or personal conduct) to be included, or to continue to be included in the list. The third condition for disqualification only applies to cases where a person is included in, or has applied to be included in, a list referred to in paragraph (8)(a) or (c). A “list” means— a list of health care professionals of a prescribed description performing primary medical services; a list of health care professionals of a prescribed description ... performing primary dental services; a list of medical practitioners and ophthalmic opticians undertaking to provide general ophthalmic services; or a list of persons undertaking to provide pharmaceutical services; prepared (in each case) under Part VI of this Order. In sub-paragraph (8) , “health care professional” has the same meaning as in Article 15C. “Health scheme” means— any of the health care under Article 4(a) or any corresponding statutory provision extending to Scotland or England and Wales; and any prescribed scheme, and regulations may prescribe any scheme for the purposes of this sub-paragraph which appears to the Department to be a health or medical scheme paid for out of public funds. Detriment to a health scheme includes detriment to any patient of, or person working in, that scheme or any person liable to pay charges for services provided under that scheme. Cases in which representations are made that the first condition for disqualification is met are referred to as efficiency cases; . . . cases in which representations are made that the second condition for disqualification is met are referred to as fraud cases ; and cases in which representations are made that the third condition for disqualification is met are referred to below as unsuitability cases. Where an ophthalmic optician is a body corporate, the body corporate is to be treated for the purposes of this Schedule as meeting the second condition for disqualification ... if any director meets that condition (whether or not he first met that condition when he was a director). Where a body corporate carries on a retail pharmacy business, the body corporate is to be treated for the purposes of this Schedule as meeting the second condition for disqualification if any one of the body of persons controlling the body corporate meets that condition (whether or not he first met that condition when he was one of them). A person who is included in any list ( “the practitioner”) is to be treated for the purposes of this Schedule as meeting the second condition for disqualification if— another person, because of an act or omission of his occurring in the course of providing ... or as the case may be performing, any services mentioned in paragraph 1(8) on the practitioner's behalf, meets that condition; and the practitioner failed to take all such steps as were reasonable to prevent acts or omissions within paragraph 1(7)(a) occurring in the course of the provision , ... or performance, of those services on his behalf. The Tribunal is not required to inquire into a fraud case if it has previously inquired into representations in respect of the person concerned and the same acts or omissions. In an unsuitability case, a fraud case or an inefficiency case, regulations may make provision (including provision modifying the effect of Part VI of this Order and this Schedule) for the purpose of securing that the person subject to the inquiry is not added to any list until proceedings in that case are finally concluded. For the purposes of this Schedule, in an unsuitability, a fraud or efficiency case proceedings are finally concluded— if the Tribunal determines not to disqualify, or conditionally disqualify, him, when it makes that determination; if it determines to disqualify, or conditionally disqualify, him and no appeal is brought against the determination, at the end of the period for bringing an appeal; if it determines to disqualify, or conditionally disqualify, him and an appeal is brought against the determination, when the appeal process is exhausted. An inquiry under paragraph 1 is not affected by the person subject to the inquiry withdrawing from, withdrawing any application to be included in or being removed from the list to which the case relates. Sub-paragraph (2) applies where the Tribunal is of the opinion— on inquiring into an efficiency case, that the person meets the first condition for disqualification; on inquiring into a fraud case, that the person meets the second condition for disqualification. on inquiring into an unsuitability case, that the person meets the third condition for disqualification. The Tribunal must disqualify the person for inclusion in the list to which the case relates. If the Tribunal makes a general disqualification it may also declare that the person is not fit to be engaged in any capacity in the provision , or as the case may be performance, of the services to which the lists in question relate (referred to in this Schedule as a declaration of unfitness). The Tribunal shall not make a disqualification or declaration under this paragraph if it is of the opinion that it would be unjust to do so. A disqualification under this paragraph shall have effect when proceedings in the case are finally concluded. If a person is disqualified for inclusion in any list prepared by the Department , the Department shall not enter him in the list and (if he is already included in the list) shall remove him from the list. The functions of making disqualifications under paragraph 3 include making a conditional disqualification, that is, a disqualification which is to come into effect only if the Tribunal determines (on a review under paragraph 5) that the person subject to the inquiry has failed to comply with any conditions imposed by the Tribunal. Conditions may be imposed by virtue of sub-paragraph (1) with a view to— removing any prejudice to the efficiency of the services in question; . . . preventing any acts or omissions within paragraph 1(7)(a), ensuring that the person performs... only services specified (or of a description specified) in the condition; undertakes an activity (or course of activity) of a personal or professional nature, or refrains from conduct of a personal or professional nature, so specified (or of a description so specified). (as the case may be). Conditions so imposed shall have effect when proceedings in the case are finally concluded. Paragraph 3(4) applies to a conditional disqualification as it applies to a disqualification. The Tribunal may by directions— vary the terms of service of the person subject to the inquiry (including terms imposed by regulations under Part VI of this Order); vary any requirements to which the person subject to the inquiry is subject under or by virtue of Article 57G or 61F ; confer functions on the Department , for the purpose of or in connection with the imposition of any conditions by virtue of this paragraph. References in any statutory provision to a disqualification by the Tribunal do not include a conditional disqualification. The Tribunal may review any disqualification, conditional disqualification or declaration of unfitness— if the disqualified or conditionally disqualified person requests a review; or in any other circumstances in which it considers it appropriate. On a review under sub-paragraph (1), the Tribunal may— remove a disqualification or provide that a declaration of unfitness is to cease to have effect; make a disqualification conditional; in the case of a conditional disqualification, remove it, vary the conditions or make it unconditional, and, on a review of a fraud case, may make any further disqualification or conditional disqualification which it considers appropriate. If the Department requests a review of a conditional disqualification on the ground that— there has been a change in the circumstances by reference to which the conditions were imposed; the person concerned has failed to comply with the conditions; or in a fraud case, the person concerned has since the Tribunal imposed the conditions (or made the disqualification conditional) again satisfied the second condition for disqualification, the Tribunal shall review the conditional disqualification. In the case of a person who is providing , approved to assist in providing or as the case may be performing, services in Scotland or England and Wales, the reference in sub-paragraph (3) to the Department includes a reference to any authority which under the provisions in force in Scotland or England and Wales corresponding to Part VI of this Order would be entitled to request a review corresponding to that mentioned in that sub-paragraph. On a review under sub-paragraph (3) of a conditional disqualification, the Tribunal may remove it, vary the conditions or make it unconditional and, on a review of a fraud case, may make any further disqualification or conditional disqualification which it considers appropriate. If, on a review under this paragraph of a fraud case— there is a general disqualification which the Tribunal does not remove or make conditional; there is a general disqualification which is conditional and which the Tribunal makes unconditional; or the Tribunal makes a general disqualification, it may also make a declaration of unfitness. The Tribunal shall not under this paragraph— in the case of a conditional disqualification, make it unconditional or vary the conditions; make any further disqualification or conditional disqualification; or make a declaration of unfitness, if it is of the opinion that it would be unjust to do so. A determination of the Tribunal under this paragraph shall have effect— if no appeal is brought against it, at the end of the period for bringing an appeal; if an appeal is brought against it, when the appeal process is exhausted. The Tribunal may hold an inquiry for the purposes of any review under this paragraph. Any person aggrieved by any determination of the Tribunal under this Part may appeal to the Court of Appeal in accordance with rules of court; and the decision given on any such appeal shall be final and conclusive. under or by virtue of any provisions in force in Scotland or England and Wales corresponding to the provisions of this Schedule, a person is disqualified for inclusion in all lists prepared under or by virtue of— those provisions so in force, or provisions so in force corresponding to the provisions of Part VI of this Order, of persons performing, undertaking to provide or approved to assist in providing any of the services mentioned in paragraph 1(8), then, in relation to the service in question, that person shall, so long as that disqualification is in force, be disqualified for inclusion in any list and (if also the subject of a declaration under those provisions corresponding to a declaration of unfitness) be treated as if a declaration of unfitness had been made in respect of him. Where under the conditional disqualification provisions in Scotland or England and Wales— any conditions are imposed in relation to the provision , assistance in provision or performance by any person of any services mentioned in paragraph 1(8); or any conditions so imposed are varied, the Department may, by a notice in writing given ... to the person in question, impose those conditions in relation to the provision by that person of those services under Part VI of this Order , Article 15B arrangements or a pilot scheme. A notice under sub-paragraph (2) may make such modifications of the conditions as the Department considers necessary for them to have the like effect in relation to Northern Ireland as they have in relation to Scotland or (as the case may be) England and Wales, but only if the Department has previously given the person concerned written notice of the proposed modifications and an opportunity (in accordance with such requirements, if any, as may be prescribed) to make representations about them. Conditions imposed by a notice under sub-paragraph (2) shall cease to have effect if the Department withdraws the notice by giving written notice to the person concerned. In this paragraph “the conditional disqualification provisions in Scotland or England and Wales” means any provision in force in Scotland or England and Wales corresponding to paragraphs 4 and (so far as relating to conditional disqualifications) paragraph 5. Regulations shall make provision— for inquiries under this Schedule to be held in accordance with such procedure as may be prescribed by or determined under the regulations and, in particular— for any person who is the subject of any such inquiry to have an opportunity of appearing, either in person or by counsel or solicitor or such other representative as may be prescribed, before, and of being heard by, the Tribunal, and of calling witnesses and producing other evidence on his behalf; and for the hearing by the Tribunal to be in public if the person who is the subject of the inquiry so requests; (b) for conferring on the Tribunal such powers as appear to the Department to be necessary for the purpose of holding inquiries under this Schedule, including power to require the attendance of witnesses and the production of documents, and to administer oaths; and for the publication of the decisions of the Tribunal under this Schedule and of the imposition and removal of any disqualification or conditions imposed by virtue of paragraph 7. Regulations under sub-paragraph (1)(a) may in particular provide that, where (apart from the regulations) it would be the duty of the Tribunal to inquire into an efficiency case and a fraud case or an unsuitability case or any other combination of more than one such category of case in respect of the same person, it may inquire into one case before inquiring into the other and, after proceedings in the first case are finally disposed of may if it thinks it appropriate adjourn the other case indefinitely. The Department may, if it has made representations under paragraph 1 , at any time before the case is disposed of by the Tribunal, apply to the Tribunal for a direction to be made under sub-paragraph (3) in relation to the person to whom the case relates. The Department may, if it has requested a review of a conditional disqualification on the ground mentioned in paragraph 5(3)(b) or (c), at any time before the review is concluded apply to the Tribunal for a direction to be made under sub-paragraph (3) in relation to the person to whom the review relates. If, on an application under this paragraph, the Tribunal is satisfied that either of the conditions for doing so is satisfied, it shall direct that sub-paragraph (5) shall apply to the person concerned as respects services of the kind to which the case in question, or the case to which the review in question, relates. The conditions for giving such a direction are— that it is necessary to do so in order to protect persons who are, or may be, provided with services under Part VI of this Order to which the case in question, or the case to which the review in question, relates; in, or in the case of a review relating to, a fraud case, that unless it does so there is a significant risk that— an act or omission within paragraph 1(7)(a) will occur; or the investigation of the case of the review will be prejudiced. A person to whom this sub-paragraph applies shall— be deemed to have been removed from any relevant list in which his name is included; be disqualified for inclusion in any relevant list in which his name is not included; and be deemed to be a person in relation to whom there is in force a declaration of unfitness in relation to the provision or performance of services of the relevant kind. A direction under sub-paragraph (3) shall cease to have effect on the Tribunal's disposing of the case or review in connection with which it is made. In the application of sub-paragraph (5) to any person— “relevant list” means a list of persons performing or undertaking to provide services of the kind to which the direction applying the sub-paragraph to him relates; and “services of the relevant kind” means services of the kind to which that direction relates. Regulations may provide that where the Department , in accordance with regulations made under Article 57G, or 61F, suspends a person from a list prepared under regulations made under the provision in question and the Department applies to the Tribunal for a direction to be made under sub-paragraph (2) in relation to the person to whom the suspension applies, the suspension may continue until the Tribunal determines the application. Where, on disposing of a case under paragraph 3, the Tribunal makes a general disqualification, it may, if it considers that either of the conditions mentioned in paragraph 9(4) is satisfied, direct that paragraph 9(5) shall apply or, if a direction has been given under paragraph 9(3), shall continue to apply to him as respects services of the kind to which the disqualification relates. A direction under sub-paragraph (1) shall cease to have effect— where no appeal against the general disqualification is brought, at the end of the period for bringing an appeal; and where an appeal against the disqualification is brought, when the appeal process has been exhausted. Where the power conferred by sub-paragraph (1) is exercisable by virtue of a disqualification which is not coupled with a declaration of unfitness, paragraph 9(5) shall have effect, in relation to the exercise of that power, with the omission of head (c). Before making a direction under paragraph 9(3) or 10(1) in relation to any person, the Tribunal shall give him an opportunity— to appear before the Tribunal, either in person or by counsel or solicitor or such other representative as may be prescribed; and to be heard and to call witnesses and produce other evidence. make provision for, or for the determination of, procedure in relation to determining applications under paragraph 9 or the exercise of the power conferred by paragraph 10(1); and provide for the functions of the Tribunal under paragraph 9 or 10 to be carried out, or to be carried out in prescribed circumstances, by the chairman or a deputy chairman of the Tribunal. This paragraph applies where it appears to the Department that there is provision in Scotland or England or Wales under which a person may be dealt with in any way which corresponds (whether or not exactly) with a way in which a person may be dealt with under a provision of this Schedule. A decision in Scotland or England or Wales to deal with such a person in such a way is referred to in this paragraph as a “corresponding decision”. If this paragraph applies, the Department may make regulations providing for the effect to be given in Northern Ireland to a corresponding decision; and where the decision corresponds (whether or not exactly) with a decision which may be made under paragraph 4 or (so far as relating to conditional disqualification) paragraph 5 the regulations may provide for the effect to be given to be determined in the prescribed manner by the Department. That effect need not be the same as the effect of the corresponding decision in the place where it was made. Regulations may provide for the making to persons to whom paragraph 9(5) or 12(2) applies of payments in consequence of the application of that provision. Regulations under sub-paragraph (1) may provide for the determination by the Department in a prescribed manner of anything for which provision may be made by regulations under that sub-paragraph. Where any of the services mentioned in paragraph 1(8)(a) to (e) is administered pursuant to arrangements made by the Department , and the Department is satisfied that any person whose name is on the list of persons undertaking to provide those services has never provided or has ceased to provide those services, it may remove his name from that list. The Tribunal shall consist of— a chairman appointed by the Lord Chief Justice; such number of deputy chairmen as the Lord Chief Justice may appoint; such number of persons as the Department may appoint for the purposes of this sub-paragraph; such number of medical practitioners as the Department may appoint for the purposes of this sub-paragraph; such number of medical practitioners having the qualifications prescribed under Article 62 as the Department may appoint for the purposes of this sub-paragraph; such number of dental practitioners as the Department may appoint for the purposes of this sub-paragraph; such number of ophthalmic opticians as the Department may appoint for the purposes of this sub-paragraph; and such number of pharmacists as the Department may appoint for the purposes of this sub-paragraph. A person appointed as the chairman or a deputy chairman shall be either a barrister-at-law practising in Northern Ireland or a practising solicitor of the Supreme Court of not less than ten years' standing. Any appointment for the purposes of paragraph 15(c) shall be made after consultation with the Department . Any appointment for the purposes of any of sub-paragraphs (d) to (h) of paragraph 15 shall be made after consultation with such organisations as the Department may recognise as representative of the profession or calling concerned. The functions of the Tribunal shall be exercised by three members consisting of— the chairman or a deputy chairman; a person appointed under paragraph 15(c); and a person appointed under such one of sub-paragraphs (d) to (h) of paragraph 15 as provides for the appointment of persons of the same profession or calling as that of the person concerned.

In sub-paragraph (1)(c) as it has effect in relation to the functions mentioned below, the reference to the person concerned is— in the case of functions under paragraphs 1 to 4, to the person to whom the representations in question relate; in the case of functions under paragraph 5, to the person whose disqualification, conditional disqualification or declaration of unfitness is under consideration; in the case of functions under paragraph 9, to the person to whom the application in question relates; and in the case of functions under paragraph 10, to the person in relation to whom paragraph 9(5) may be made to apply or continue to apply. In sub-paragraph (1)(c) as it has effect in relation to functions of the Tribunal conferred by or under any statutory provision relating to the preferential treatment of medical practitioners on transferring to medical lists, the reference to the person concerned is a reference to the medical practitioner to whom the matter before the Tribunal relates. In the case of functions under paragraph 9 or 10, sub-paragraph (1) is subject to paragraph 11(2)(b). Regulations may provide for the appointment, tenure of office and vacation of office of members of the Tribunal. Where a medical practitioner was in occupation of any dispensary residence immediately before the 5th July 1948 and exercised his entitlement under the proviso to section 19(1)( a) of the Health Services Act (Northern Ireland) 1948 to continue to occupy such residence subject to such conditions as were determined pursuant to that proviso, and was, by virtue of that entitlement, in occupation of such residence immediately before the [ 1st October 1973], he shall be entitled to continue in occupation of such residence so long as he continues to comply with those conditions. Notwithstanding anything in any transferred provision, or in any conveyance, trust deed or other instrument relating to that property, the Ministry may, subject to such conditions as it may determine, make available any property to which this Schedule applies (other than property which any person is entitled, pursuant to paragraph 1, to occupy) to any of the following persons— medical practitioners, dental practitioners or pharmacists providing services under Part VI; the Health and Social Services Boards for the purposes of any of their functions; voluntary organisations providing services similar or related to those provided by the Ministry under this Order. Where the Ministry is satisfied that any property to which this Schedule applies (other than property which any person is entitled, pursuant to paragraph 1, to occupy) is no longer required to be made availiable to the persons mentioned in paragraph 2, the Ministry may, notwithstanding anything in any transferred provision, or in any conveyance, trust deed or other instrument relating to that property, but subject to paragraphs 4 and 5 and to such conditions as it may determine, dispose of that property. The Ministry shall, before disposing of any such property, notify the district council for the district within which the property is situated of its intention to do so. If the district council which has been notified pursuant to paragraph 4, by resolution duly passed and communicated to the Ministry within three months of the council being so notified, requires the Ministry to do so, the Ministry shall by order transfer to that council all interests, rights or liabilities in, or relating to, that property to which the Ministry is entitled or subject immediately before the making of the order. A district council to which the interests, rights or liabilities in any property are transferred under paragraph 5 may thereafter use that property for any of its functions or may dispose of that property. Where, under paragraph 3 or 6, any property is disposed of by the Ministry or a district council, any proceeds of such disposal shall be paid to or, as the case may be, retained by the district council in whose district the property is situated. Any district council by which any money is received under paragraph 7 in pursuance of a disposal shall apply that money towards the relief of rates. An order under Article 76(1) may include provision— for the manner in which it is to be determined whether any assets or liabilities were held, acquired or incurred wholly or mainly for health or welfare purposes as mentioned in Article 75(1)( d)(ii); for the transfer of property to the Ministry where that property has undergone a change of use between 9th March 1972 and [ 1st October 1973], otherwise than in the ordinary course of business; for exempting, either temporarily or otherwise, from the provisions of Article 75 any property, other assets or liabilities, for enabling the Ministry to use any property so exempted or for enabling a body assuming functions of a local authority to continue to use, on such terms and conditions as may be agreed, any property transferred under Article 75; for the determination of any question or disputes arising under Article 75 or under an order made under Article 76; for such of the assets (other than property) and liabilities specified in the order to be enforceable, notwithstanding Article 75, by or against such Health and Social Services Board as may be specified, or the Agency; for temporary modifications of this Order or for modifying or repealing any other transferred provision passed or made before [ 1st October 1973] (not including such a provision contained in this Order); in connection with the dissolution of the bodies mentioned in Article 74 and the winding-up of their affairs, including provision for securing that anything done by or to such a body should have effect as if done by or to a body established under this Order; for the carrying on and completion by or on behalf of the bodies mentioned in Article 74 of anything (including any legal or parliamentary proceeding) commenced by or on behalf of those bodies before [ 1st October 1973]; for construing, so far as may be necessary for the purposes of Article 74 or in consequence of an order made under Article 76(1), references in any transferred provision or in any judgement, decree, order or warrant of any court, or in any award, deed, contract or other document to any of the bodies mentioned in Article 74 as references to any other body; for the application, defrayal, apportionment or adjustment of assets, liabilities, income or costs, for the inclusion or exclusion for purposes of such application, defrayal, apportionment or adjustment of any item which the Ministry may think proper to include or exclude, and for the continuance of, or of functions of, any of the bodies mentioned in Article 74 and the continuance in office of any member or officer of that body, as if the body had not been dissolved, for purposes of such application, defrayal, apportionment or adjustment or for purposes of the making up and audit of accounts and any proceedings in connection therewith or consequent thereupon; for dealing with any applications, complaints or representations made to or by any body mentioned in Article 74 which are pending on [ 1st October 1973]; for the transfer of persons from lists of the Northern Ireland General Health Services Board to lists of Health and Social Services Boards or the removal of persons from such lists in pursuance of a direction made before [ 1st October 1973] by the Tribunal within the meaning of the Health Services Act (Northern Ireland) 1971 . Where an order makes provision as mentioned in paragraph 1( f) the order shall be subject to affirmative resolution. Any endowment to which this Schedule applies shall, notwithstanding anything contained in any enactment or rule of law, be applied and used by the Health and Social Services Board— firstly, in the discharge, to the extent to which the endowment could, immediately before 5th July 1948, have been lawfully applied and used for that purpose, of so much of the liabilities transferred to the management committee under section 25(3), (4) and (7) of the Health Services Act (Northern Ireland) 1948 as may be prescribed; secondly, subject to paragraph 2, for such the purposes to which it could, immediately before 5th July 1948, have been lawfully applied or used as the Health and Social Services Board may think proper. Where the Health and Social Services Board is satisfied that it has become impracticable or unnecessary to apply and use the endowment in accordance with paragraph 1( b), that Board may, notwithstanding anything contained in the trusts upon which the endowment is held, apply and use the capital or income of the whole or any part of the endowment for such of the purposes connected with the hospital as it may think proper. Regulations made with the approval of the Ministry of Finance may provide— for the making and, subject to the provisions of paragraphs 3 and 4, the recovery, in such manner as may be prescribed, of— such charges as may be prescribed in respect of such services (other than services provided as part of the relevant dental services) provided under this Order or the 1991 Order as may be prescribed; a charge of an amount calculated in accordance with paragraph 1A in respect of any services provided as part of the general dental services, not being— the repair of appliances other than prescribed appliances; or the arrest of bleeding; charges of amounts calculated in accordance with paragraph 1A in respect of the supply under this Order of dentures and other dental appliances of prescribed descriptions; charges, other than charges for relevant dental services. . . in respect of the extra expense involved in the supply, at the request of the person supplied, of any appliance or vehicle which is of a more expensive type than that which would normally be supplied, or the replacement or repair of any such appliance, or, as the case may require, the replacement, repair or maintenance of any such vehicle; or charges, other than charges for relevant dental services. . . in respect of the replacement of any appliance or vehicle supplied, the repair of any appliance supplied or the repair or maintenance of any vehicle supplied, if it is determined in the prescribed manner that the replacement, repair or maintenance, as the case may be, is necessitated by an act or omission of the person supplied or (if it occurred when he was under sixteen years of age) of his or of the person having charge of him when it occurred; for the remission or repayment of such charges in respect of persons of such descriptions as may be prescribed; for the grant, on payment of such sums as may be prescribed, of certificates conferring on the persons to whom the certificates are granted exemption from charges otherwise exigible under the regulations in respect of drugs, medicines and appliances supplied during such period as may be prescribed. Subject to the following provisions of this paragraph, regulations made with the approval of the Department of Finance and Personnel may make such provision as to the amount of any charge— authorised by paragraph 1(a)(ia) for the provision of services; or authorised by paragraph 1(a)(iaa) for the supply of dentures or other dental appliances, as appears to the Department to be appropriate. Without prejudice to the generality of sub‐paragraph (1), regulations may provide that any charge which is so authorised in respect of appliances or services supplied or provided under Part VI— shall be of an amount equal— to the practitioner's remuneration in respect of the supply or provision; or to any part of that remuneration; or shall be otherwise calculated by reference to that remuneration. Without prejudice to the generality of sub‐paragraph (1), regulations may provide that any charge which is authorised in respect of appliances supplied otherwise than under Part VI— to the remuneration a practitioner would receive for a supply under that Part of equivalent appliances; or to any part of such remuneration; or shall be otherwise calculated by reference to such remuneration. The charge shall not exceed the amount which the Department considers to be the cost to health care of the supply or provision. In this paragraph “cost to health care” does not include— any fee in respect of a visit by a practitioner to a patient; any fee in respect of the exceptional attendance by a practitioner at his surgery in order to provide emergency treatment; or any fee or part of a fee payable by a patient in pursuance of regulations under Article 61(2)(d) or (3). Descriptions of persons may be prescribed for the purposes of paragraph 1(b) by reference to any criterion and, without prejudice to the generality of this sub‐paragraph, by reference to any of the following criteria— their receipt of benefit in money or in kind under any transferred provision or their entitlement to receive any such benefit; the receipt of any such benefit by other persons satisfying prescribed conditions or the entitlement of other persons satisfying prescribed conditions to receive such benefits; and the relationship, as calculated in accordance with the regulations by a prescribed person, between their resources and their requirements. Regulations under this paragraph may direct how a person's resources and requirements are to be calculated and, without prejudice to the generality of this sub‐paragraph, may direct that they shall be calculated— by a method set out in the regulations; or by a method described by reference to a method of calculating or estimating income or capital specified in a transferred provision other than this paragraph or by reference to such a method but subject to prescribed modifications; or Regulations under this paragraph which refer to a transferred provision may direct that the reference is to be construed as a reference to that provision— Regulations made under paragraph 1 may provide that sums which would otherwise be payable by the Department to persons by whom any services are provided are to be reduced by the amount of the charges prescribed in respect of those services. The Department shall by regulations provide for payments to be made by the Department ... or the Agency to meet, or to contribute towards, the cost incurred (whether by way of charge under this Order or otherwise) for the supply of optical appliances for which a prescription has been given in consequence of a testing of sight under this Order— for a child; for a person whose resources fall to be treated under the regulations as being less than his requirements; or for a person of such other description as may be prescribed or for which a prescription has been given for a person such as is mentioned in head (a), (b) or (c) in consequence of a testing of sight (not being a testing of sight under this Order) which took place in prescribed circumstances. In sub-paragraph (1), “child” means— a person who is under the age of 19 years and receiving qualifying full-time education. In sub-paragraph (2), “qualifying full-time education” means full-time instruction— by other means accepted as comparable by the Department; and for the purposes of this paragraph regulations may prescribe the circumstances in which a person is or is not to be treated as receiving full-time instruction. The Department may by regulations— provide for the Department ... or the Agency to contribute to the cost of a testing of sight which the Department, ... or the Agency accepts as having been incurred by a person whose resources fall to be treated under the regulations as exceeding his requirements but only by an amount calculated under the regulations; provide for payments to be made by the Department ... or the Agency to meet, or to contribute towards, any costs accepted by the Department, ... or the Agency as having been incurred (whether by way of charge under this Order or otherwise) for the replacement or repair in prescribed circumstances of optical appliances for which a prescription was given in consequence of a testing of sight of a person of a prescribed description; and direct how a person's resources and requirements are to be calculated and, without prejudice to the generality of this head, give any such direction as to how they are to be calculated as may be given by regulations under paragraph 1B(2). Descriptions of person may be prescribed under this paragraph by reference to any criterion and, without prejudice to the generality of this sub‐paragraph, by reference to any of the criteria specied in paragraph 1B(1). Sub‐paragraph (3) of paragraph 1B shall have effect in relation to regulations under this paragraph as it has effect in relation to regulations under that paragraph. Subject to paragraph 4, any charges under this Order shall, without prejudice to any other method of recovery, be a debt recoverable summarily. Any person entitled to recover charges under this Order may, by agreement with the governing body of any association or fund established for the purpose of providing benefits to members or other beneficiaries thereof, accept from the association or fund, in respect of any charges payable under this Order by or in respect of any member or beneficiary of the association or fund, payment of such sums as may be provided by the agreement in lieu of recovering the whole or any part of such charges from, or from the estate of, such member or beneficiary or from any person liable therefor. Where goods or services are provided under this Order and either— any charge payable by any person under this Order in respect of the provision of the goods or services is reduced, remitted or repaid, but that person is not entitled to the reduction, remission or repayment; or any payment under this Order is made to, or for the benefit of, any person in respect of the cost of obtaining the goods or services, but that person is not entitled to, or to the benefit of, the payment, the amount mentioned in sub-paragraph (2) is recoverable summarily as a debt from the person in question by the responsible authority. That amount— in a case within sub-paragraph (1)(a), is the amount of the charge or (where it has been reduced) reduction; in a case within sub-paragraph (1)(b), is the amount of the payment. Where two or more persons are liable under paragraph 3 or this paragraph to pay an amount in respect of the same charge or payment, those persons shall be jointly and severally liable. For the purposes of this paragraph, the circumstances in which a person is to be treated as not entitled to a reduction, remission or repayment of a charge, or to (or to the benefit of) a payment, include in particular those in which it is received (wholly or partly)— on the ground that he or another is a person of a particular description, where the person in question is not in fact of that description; on the ground that he or another holds a particular certificate, when the person in question does not in fact hold such a certificate or does hold such a certificate but is not entitled to it; on the ground that he or another has made a particular statement, when the person in question has not made such a statement or the statement made by him is false. In this paragraph and paragraph 6, “responsible authority” means— in relation to the recovery of any charge under paragraph 3 in respect of the provision of goods or services under this Order, the person by whom the charge is recoverable; in relation to the recovery by virtue of this paragraph of the whole or part of the amount of any such charge, the person by whom the charge would have been recoverable; in a case within sub-paragraph (1)(b), the person who made the payment. But the Department may by directions provide for— the functions of any responsible authority of recovering any charges under this Order in respect of the provision of goods or services under this Order; the functions of any responsible authority under this paragraph and paragraph 6, to be exercised on behalf of the authority by another health care body. Regulations may provide that, where a person fails to pay— any amount recoverable from him under paragraph 3 in respect of the provision of goods or services under this Order; or any amount recoverable from him under paragraph 5, a notice (referred to in this paragraph as a penalty notice) may be served on the person by the responsible authority requiring him to pay to the authority, within a prescribed period, that amount together with a charge (referred to in this paragraph as a penalty charge) of an amount determined in accordance with the regulations. The regulations may not provide for the amount of the penalty charge to exceed whichever is the smaller of— £100; the amount referred to in sub-paragraph (1)(a) or (b) multiplied by 5. The Department may by order provide for sub-paragraph (2) to have effect as if, for the sum specified in head (a) or the multiplier specified in head (b) (including that sum or multiplier as substituted by a previous order), there were substituted a sum or (as the case may be) multiplier specified in the order. Regulations may provide that, if a person fails to pay the amount he is required to pay under a penalty notice within the period in question, he must also pay to the responsible authority by way of penalty a further sum determined in accordance with the regulations. The further sum must not exceed 50 per cent of the amount of the penalty charge. Any sum payable under the regulations (including the amount referred to in sub-paragraph (1)(a) or (b)) may be recovered by the responsible authority summarily as a debt. But a person is not liable by virtue of a penalty notice— to pay at any time so much of any amount referred to in sub-paragraph (1)(a) or (b) for which he is jointly and severally liable with another as at that time has been paid, or ordered by a court to be paid, by that other; or to a penalty charge, or a further sum by way of penalty, if he shows that he did not act wrongfully, or with any lack of care, in respect of the charge or payment in question. No order shall be made under sub-paragraph (3) unless a draft has been laid before, and approved by resolution of the Assembly. A person is guilty of an offence if he does any act mentioned in paragraph (2) with a view to securing for himself or another— the evasion of the whole or part of any charge under this Order in respect of the provision of goods or services under this Order; the reduction, remission or repayment of any such charge, where he or (as the case may be) the other is not entitled to the reduction, remission or repayment; a payment under this Order (whether to, or for the benefit of, himself or the other) in respect of the cost of obtaining such goods or services, where he or (as the case may be) the other is not entitled to, or to the benefit of, the payment. The acts referred to in sub-paragraph (1) are— knowingly making, or causing or knowingly allowing another to make, a false statement or representation; or in the case of any document or information which he knows to be false in a material particular, producing or providing it or causing or knowingly allowing another to produce or provide it. A person guilty of an offence under this paragraph is liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 4 on the standard scale. A person, although he is not a barrister or solicitor, may conduct any proceedings under this paragraph before a magistrates' court if he is authorised to do so by the Department. Proceedings for an offence under this paragraph may be begun within either of the following periods— the period of three months beginning with the date on which evidence, sufficient in the opinion of the Department to justify a prosecution for the offence, comes to its knowledge; the period of 12 months beginning with the commission of the offence. For the purposes of sub-paragraph (5), a certificate purporting to be signed by or on behalf of the Department as to the date on which such evidence as is mentioned in head (a) of that sub-paragraph came to its knowledge is conclusive evidence of that date. Where, in respect of any charge or payment under this Order— a person is convicted of an offence under this paragraph; or a person pays any penalty charge, and any further sum by way of penalty, recoverable from him under paragraph 6, he shall not, in a case within head (a), be liable to pay any such penalty charge or further sum by way of penalty or, in a case within head (b), be convicted of such an offence. Sub-paragraph (4) of paragraph 5 applies for the purposes of this paragraph as it applies for the purposes of that paragraph. Without prejudice to any other provision of this Schedule, it shall be lawful for the Ministry or an HSC trust to require any person, for whom the Ministry or the HSC trust is providing services under this Order or the 1991 Order as an in-patient in hospital and who is absent during the day from the hospital where he is a patient for the purpose of engaging in employment for which he is remunerated, to pay such part of the cost of his maintenance in the hospital, and any costs incidental thereto, as may seem to the Ministry or the HSC trust to be reasonable having regard to the amount of the remuneration, and the provisions of this Schedule with respect to the recovery of charges shall apply to the recovery of any payment so required. Nothing in Article 98(1) shall operate to restrict the making of provision under this Schedule for the making and recovery of charges or payments in respect of any accommodation or services provided under this Order or the 1991 Order. No charge is to be made under regulations under paragraph 1A(1) of Schedule 15 in respect of a relevant dental service provided for any person who at the prescribed time— was under the age of 18; was under the age of 19 and receiving qualifying full-time education; was pregnant; or had given birth to a child within the previous 12 months. In sub-paragraph (1)(b), “qualifying full-time education” means full-time instruction at a recognised educational establishment or by other means accepted as comparable by the person or body making the regulations. For the purposes of sub-paragraph (2)— “recognised educational establishment” means an establishment recognised by the Department as being, or as comparable to, a school, college or university; and regulations may prescribe the circumstances in which a person is or is not to be treated as receiving full-time instruction. In sub-paragraph (1)(d), “child” includes a still-born child (within the meaning of the Births and Deaths Registration (Northern Ireland) Order 1976). This paragraph is subject to paragraph 3. No charge is to be made under regulations under paragraph 1A(1) of Schedule 15 in respect of the repair or replacement of any appliance. Paragraphs 1 and 2 do not apply in relation to— the repair or replacement of any appliance of a prescribed description; or the repair or replacement of any appliance where it is determined in the prescribed manner— in any case, that the repair or replacement was necessitated by an act or omission of the person supplied; or in a case where the person supplied was under the age of 16, that the repair or replacement was necessitated by an act or omission, occurring while that person was under that age, of a person having charge of him. No charge is to be made under regulations under paragraph 1A(1) of Schedule 15 in respect of any appliance supplied to a patient for the time being resident in a hospital. Paragraph 4 does not apply where an appliance is supplied— under Article 60A(2); under a general dental services contract; or in accordance with Article 15B arrangements. No charge is to be made under regulations under paragraph 1A(1) of Schedule 15 in respect of the arrest of bleeding. Regulations may provide, with respect to any exemption under this Schedule, that it is to be a condition of the exemption that— a declaration of the prescribed kind is made in the prescribed form and manner; or a certificate or other evidence of the prescribed kind is supplied in the prescribed form and manner. Schedule 16—Amendments The repeal by this Order of paragraph 2(1) of Schedule 11 to the Health Services Act (Northern Ireland) 1971 shall not, except to such extent as may be provided for under sub-paragraph (2) of this paragraph, affect the status, as an exempted hospital, of any hospital in respect of which an order was made under section 23(8) of the Health Services Act (Northern Ireland) 1948 . Notwithstanding the repeal by this Order of paragraph 2(2) of Schedule 11 to that Act of 1971, arrangements may be made with the governing body of the hospital to which an order under section 23(8) of that Act of 1948 related for the hospital to be treated as a hospital for the purposes of all or any of the provisions of this Order. The repeal by this Order of paragraph 2 of Schedule 11 to the Health Services Act (Northern Ireland) 1971 shall not affect the liability of any person to repay any amount due, or which may become due, under a loan made under section 6 of the Health Services Act (Northern Ireland) 1958 , or affect the terms and conditions of a loan so made. The repeal of any enactment by this Order or by any enactment repealed by this Order shall not affect any allowances, pension or gratuity granted under, or any right to compensation accrued or accruing by virtue of, any such enactment before the repeal of that enactment became effective. The Belfast City Council may exercise the power conferred on the Lord Mayor, Aldermen and Citizens of the City of Belfast by section 24(1) of and Schedule 3 to, the Health Services Act (Northern Ireland) 1948 and may do so notwithstanding the repeal of section 75 of the Health Services Act (Northern Ireland) 1971. in accordance with any enactment mentioned in sub-paragraph (4), compensation has been awarded to any officer in respect of his removal from or relinquishment of office; that officer subsequently becomes entitled (whether by virtue of any enactment or otherwise) to a superannuation allowance in respect of any office which he has accepted after the date of such removal or relinquishment; and in the calculation of the amount of such allowance, account has been taken of any period of service in respect of which such compensation is payable; then, except as provided in sub-paragraph (3), such compensation— shall cease to be payable if it does not exceed such part of the superannuation allowance as is attributable solely to that period of service; shall, if it exceeds such part so attributable, be reduced by an amount equal to that part. If a person receiving compensation under any enactment mentioned in sub-paragraph (4)— obtains any office under any local or public body; or receives, by virtue of this Order or of anything done in pursuance of this Order, any increase in the remuneration of the office held by him at the date at which the compensation was assessed; then, except as provided in sub-paragraph (3), he shall not, so long as he holds that office or receives that increased remuneration, be entitled to receive, by way of compensation in respect of the office for which compensation is awarded, any greater sum than would make up the amount (if any) by which the remuneration which he is receiving falls short of the remuneration of the office in respect of which compensation was awarded. The Ministry may, on the application of the person concerned or of the body by which the compensation is payable, direct that the operation of sub-paragraph (1) or, as the case may be, sub-paragraph (2), in relation to that person, shall be modified so far as is, in the opinion of the Ministry, necessary in order equitably to meet the circumstances of the case. The enactments referred to in sub-paragraphs (1)(a) and (2) are— Schedule 3 to the Public Health (Tuberculosis) Act (Northern Ireland) 1946 , both as originally enacted and as applied by section 2 of the Health Services Act (Northern Ireland) 1958 ; and Schedule 6 to the Health Services Act (Northern Ireland) 1948 . If a person receiving compensation under Schedule 4 to the Public Health and Local Government (Administrative Provisions) Act (Northern Ireland) 1946 obtains any office under the Crown or under any local or other public authority; or receives, by virtue of this Order or of anything done in pursuance of or in consequence of this Order, any increase of the emoluments of that office held by him; then he shall not, while receiving the emoluments of that office, receive any greater amount of compensation (if any) than with the emoluments of the said office, is equal to the emoluments for which compensation was granted to him, and if the emoluments of the office he holds are equal to or greater than the emoluments for which compensation was granted, his compensation shall be suspended while he holds that office. In this paragraph— in sub-paragraph (2)( a), “local or public body” includes any authority or body specified in paragraph 1 of Schedule 1 to the Financial Provisions (Northern Ireland) Order 1983 as an authority or body to whom government loans may be made; in sub-paragraph (5), “local authority” and “emoluments” have the same meanings as in section 29 of and paragraph 17 of Schedule 4 to, the Public Health and Local Government (Administrative Provisions) Act (Northern Ireland) 1946 and “local authority” also includes a district council or a joint committee of district councils. Para. 6 rep. by 1978 NI 15 The repeal of paragraph 1 of Schedule 3 to the Welfare Services Act (Northern Ireland) 1971 shall not affect any power of the Ministry of Development to dispose of, in accordance with the provisions of section 3 of the Welfare Services Act (Northern Ireland) 1949 , any former workhouse property still held by that Ministry at the commencement of this Order. In this paragraph, “former workhouse property” means any land (not being property which was subject to the provisions of section 23(2) or (3A) of the Health Services Act (Northern Ireland) 1948 ) which was, immediately before the 20th January 1949, held by the Ministry of Health and Local Government under any of the provisions of the Poor Relief Acts (Northern Ireland) 1838 to 1937. Where immediately before [ 1st October, 1973] a hospital order or a guardianship order made under Part III of the Mental Health Act is in force by virtue of which a person is committed to the care of the Northern Ireland Hospitals Authority or the guardianship of a management committee the order shall have effect on and after [ 1st October, 1973] as if it committed him to the care of the Ministry or, as the case may be, the guardianship of a Health and Social Services Board. Para. 9. rep. by 1995 NI 2 Nothing in this Order shall affect the provisions of sections 28 and 29 of the Interpretation Act (Northern Ireland) 1954 (effect of repeals and of substituting provisions).
