Committee Meetings and Hearings

Detailed information on the PSR scheme is published in the document Your Guide to the PSR Process

Meetings of the Committee

The Chairperson must convene the first meeting of the Committee within 14 days of the Committee members being appointed. However, failure to hold the first meeting within 14 days will not render the actions of the Committee invalid.

Meetings must be held in private. The Committee can regulate the proceedings of its meetings, and inform itself, as it thinks fit.

Committee Hearings

When an investigation has been referred to a Committee, the Committee must hold a hearing if it considers that the person under review (PUR) may have engaged in inappropriate practice. Written notice of the time and place proposed for the hearing must be given to the PUR at least 14 days before the proposed hearing day. The notice must give particulars of the referred services to which the hearing relates and may require that the PUR appear at the hearing and give evidence to the Committee.
