Clause 37

It shall be the duty of the licensing authority to keep a register of pharmacies for the purposes of this section (in this Part referred to as “the register”) and, subject to the following provisions of this section, on payment of the prescribed fee to enter in the register any premises in respect of which an application is made under this section.

Any application for the registration of premises under this section shall be made in the prescribed manner and shall specify the premises to which the application relates and shall contain such other particulars as may be prescribed.

If it appears to the licensing authority that in a material respect the premises do not comply with the requirements of the regulations made under section 34 which are for the time being in force or that the applicant is not a suitable person to conduct a retail pharmacy business, he may refuse to register the premises.

The applicant may appeal against the decision of the licensing authority to the Minister whose decision thereon shall be final.
