Question No. 4
Reply by Dr the Hon K L Thong, CBR JP; Director of Medical & Health Services, to Question by Dr the Hon Henrietta Ip. in Legislative Council on 6.2.1935
Question : Could Government inform this Council why persons registered under section 8(1)(c) of the Dentists Registration Ordinance are not eligible for appointment to the Dental Council of Hong Kong ?
Sir,
Under the present provisions of the Dentists Registration
Ordinance, persons registered under section 8(1)(c) are not
eligible for appointment to the Dental Council of Hong Kong and
this has been the position since the Council vas set up by
law in August 1959. Further, it is not possible to establish
for the original provisions at this point in
the reason
time.
However, my friend may be pleased to know that inter alia
the Dental Council is scheduled to examine the legal provisions
for its composition at its next meeting in March. I am therefore
most grateful to my friend for her timely question as this aspect
will certainly be covered in the Council's deliberations.
