  • (A1) The Registrar may not exercise the powers conferred by this article in relation to a registrant who is entered in the nursing associates’ part of the register.
  • (1) If the Secretary of State advises the Registrar that an emergency has occurred, is occurring or is about to occur and that action should be considered under this article, the Registrar may make—
  • (a) an annotation in the register against the name of a registrant to indicate that the registrant is qualified to order drugs, medicines and appliances in a specified capacity, notwithstanding that the registrant is not so qualified, if the Registrar considers that the registrant is a fit, proper and suitably experienced person to order drugs, medicines and appliances in that capacity with regard to the emergency;
  • (b) annotations in the register against the names of registrants comprising a specified group of registrants to indicate that they are qualified to order drugs, medicines and appliances in a specified capacity, notwithstanding that they are not so qualified, if the Registrar considers that the group is comprised of registrants who are of a type who may reasonably be considered fit, proper and suitably experienced persons to order drugs, medicines and appliances in that capacity with regard to the emergency.
  • (2) The Registrar may make the annotation in such a way so as to distinguish registrants against whose names in the register annotations are made by virtue of paragraph (1) from registrants in respect of whom the annotation is made otherwise than by virtue of paragraph (1).
  • (3) Annotations made by virtue of paragraph (1)—
  • (a) must be removed by the Registrar if the Secretary of State advises the Registrar that the circumstances that led the Secretary of State to advise the Registrar as mentioned in paragraph (1) no longer exist;
  • (b) may be removed by the Registrar at any time, including where the Registrar has grounds for suspecting that the registrant’s fitness to order drugs, medicines or appliances may be impaired.
  • (4) A registrant against whose name in the register an annotation is made by virtue of paragraph (1)(b) as one of a specified group may have that annotation removed without the Registrar removing the equivalent annotations against the names of the other members of the group or by virtue of a decision to remove the annotations made by virtue of paragraph (1)(b) against the names of all the members of the group.
  • (5) For the purposes of this article, “emergency” means an emergency of the type described in section 19(1)(a) of the Civil Contingencies Act 2004 (meaning of “emergency”), read with subsection (2)(a) and (b) of that section.
