Section 19A: Annual list of veterinary surgeons

19A. Annual list of veterinary surgeons (1) The Council shall, not later than 31 January in every year, publish an annual list of veterinary surgeons. (2) Notwithstanding section 26 and subject to subsection (5), no veterinary surgeon shall practise veterinary surgery unless his name is on the list of veterinary surgeons. (3) Every veterinary surgeon who wishes to have his name on the annual list of veterinary surgeons shall— (a) in the case of a newly registered veterinary surgeon, on registration; and (b) in any other case, at the beginning of every year and in any case not later than 15 January in every year, pay to the Council such fee as may be prescribed. (4) The Registrar shall, on receipt of the fee under subsection (3), enter the name of the veterinary surgeon in the annual list of veterinary surgeons. (5) Where it is established to the satisfaction of the Council that a veterinary surgeon did not wilfully fail to cause his name to be entered in the annual list, the Council may, subject to such terms and conditions as it thinks fit, including the prohibition to practise veterinary surgery for a specified period, authorise the veterinary surgeon to practise veterinary surgery.
