Section 59E

No order under section 59B(1) or 59D(1)(b), (c) or (d) shall be made by an Interim Orders Committee in respect of any registered medical practitioner unless he has been afforded an opportunity of appearing before the Interim Orders Committee and being heard on the question whether such an order should be made in his case.

For the purposes of subsection (1), the registered medical practitioner may be represented before the Interim Orders Committee by counsel.

Regulations made for the purposes of an Interim Orders Committee may include provisions securing that the registered medical practitioner in respect of whom an interim suspension order or an interim restriction order has been made shall, if he so requires, be entitled to be heard by the Interim Orders Committee on each occasion when it reviews the order, and be represented by counsel during such review.
