(1) Nothing in this Part affects any right to appeal that
a visiting practitioner may have under Part 4 in relation to the termination
of his or her appointment.
(2) However, a visiting practitioner cannot appeal
under that Part against a decision under this Part to terminate his or her
appointment because the practitioner has been convicted of a serious sex or
violence offence in respect of--
(a) a minor (but only if the offence
committed involves sexual activity or sexual touching or a sexual act with, or
in relation to the minor), or
(b) a patient or client of the practitioner if
the offence is committed during the course of his or her practice as a medical
practitioner or dentist (whether as a visiting practitioner or otherwise).
Note : The Interpretation Act 1987 defines
"minor" to mean an individual who is under the age of 18 years.
