Health Professions, Administrative
In the context of an application for a pharmacy licence, questions of adequacy, need and desirability are to be decided by the decision-makers, and provided that the proper approach is adopted, the answer will inevitably become a question of fact and degree eminently suitable for resolution by a committee of laymen, and not susceptible to sophisticated legal analyses.

An occupational therapist whose name had been ordered to be removed from the register for conduct, was entitled to apply immediately to be re-instated since the order imposed no time limit. It was therefore inappropriate and unnecessary for her to apply to set aside the order.

Professional Negligence, Health Professions
A cervical smear screener could be liable in negligence if he failed to spot obvious abnormalities in a test result which indicated that further investigation was required. To say this is not to say that such screening tests were expected to achieve full reliability. The court should ask what was on the slide to be seen, what would be seen by someone taking reasonable care, and whether what was so seen by a competent screener be passed.

PC The Doctor appealed the decision to strike his name from the medical register for serious professional misconduct, and in particular that he had failed to treat properly vulnerable patients in his care.

Held: He had been properly and professionally represented at the original hearing, and there was no reason why the evidence should have been made available at that time. Appeal refused.
