This Order makes provision with regard to the constitution of the General Osteopathic Council (“the GOsC”). The GOsC is to consist of 7 registrant members, who are osteopaths registered with the GOsC, and 7 lay members (article 2). Their terms of office will be determined by the Privy Council – or if directed by the Privy Council to do so, the Appointments Commission – on appointment. There are limitations on the period for which members may serve on the GOsC (article 3). The GOsC is to make provision with regard to the education and training of its members in standing orders (article 4).
