63—Declaration of notifiable conditions
(1) The regulations
may declare a disease or medical condition to be a notifiable condition.
(2) The Minister may,
if the Minister considers it to be necessary in the interests of public health
because of urgent circumstances, by notice in the Gazette, declare a disease
or medical condition to be a notifiable condition.
(3) A regulation or
declaration under subsection (1) or (2) may be varied from time to
time, or may be revoked, but a declaration of the Minister under
subsection (2) will, unless revoked sooner, expire 6 months after
publication in the Gazette.
(4) The revocation or
expiry of a declaration of the Minister—
(a) does
not prevent the disease or medical condition the subject of the declaration
being declared to be a notifiable condition by the regulations; and
(b) does
not prevent the disease or medical condition being the subject of a further
declaration of the Minister if the Minister considers that urgent
circumstances again warrant the declaration of the disease or
medical condition to be a notifiable condition.
