(1) This section applies if a personal assessment panel makes a recommendation under section 85 (3) to a board in relation to an application.
(2) If the board accepts the recommendation, the recommendation is the decision on the application and the board must tell the veterinary surgeon, in writing, about the decision and give reasons for the decision.
(3) If the board rejects the recommendation, the board must—
(a) make a decision on the application and tell the veterinary surgeon, in writing, about the decision, giving reasons for the decision; or
(b) if the board considers that the application relates to whether the veterinary surgeon is contravening, has contravened or is likely to contravene the required standard of practice—consider the application under part 7 (Joint consideration with commission).
(4) If the
board makes a decision without consulting the commission, the board must tell
the commission about the decision.
