The General Medical Council (Constitution of Fitness to Practise Committees) Rules Order of Council 1996
The rules approved by this Order revoke and replace earlier rules governing the constitution of the General Medical Council’s Fitness to Practise Committees. They regulate the constitutions of the Preliminary Proceedings Committee, the Professional Conduct Committee, the Health Committee, the Assessment Referral Committee and the Committee on Professional Performance, the last two of which Committees were provided for in the Medical (Professional Performance) Act 1995 which amends the Medical Act 1983.
