Exemption) Regulation 2001
under the
Medical Practice Act 1992
Her Excellency the Governor, with the advice of the Executive Council, has made the following Regulation under the Medical Practice Act 1992.
CRAIG KNOWLES, M.P.,
Minister for Health
Explanatory note
The object of this Regulation is to amend the Medical Practice Regulation 1998 to exempt public health organisations, private hospitals, day procedure centres and nursing homes from the requirements in that Regulation to keep records relating to patients.
This Regulation makes it clear that the exemption of those medical corporations from those requirements does not affect the application of those requirements to registered medical practitioners engaged by those medical corporations.
This Regulation also provides that section 126 (2) of the Medical Practice Act 1992 is not affected. That provision requires that a record made under the Medical Practice Regulation 1998 be disposed of in a manner that will preserve the confidentiality of any information it contains relating to patients.
This Regulation is made under the Medical Practice Act 1992, including sections 126 (Records to be kept) and 194 (the general regulation-making power).
