(b) providing for the notification to the registrar by the person to whom any registered particulars relate, of any change in those particulars;
(c) authorising a registered person to have any qualification which is in relation to the relevant division of the profession, whether an approved qualification or an accepted qualification for the purposes of section 7 (2) (b) of this Act registered in relation to his name in addition to or as he may elect, in substitution for any other qualification so registered;
(d) specifying the fees to be paid to the Board in respect of the entry of names on the register and authorising the registrar to refuse to enter a name on the register until any fee specified for the entry has been paid;

but rules made for the purposes of paragraph (d) of this subsection shall not come into force until they are confirmed by order of the Minister.
(5) The register shall-
(a) correct, in accordance with the Board's directions, any entry in the register which the Board directs him to correct as being in the Board's opinion an entry which was incorrectly made;
(b) make from time to time any necessary alterations to the registered particulars of registered persons;
(c) remove from the part of the register, which relates to temporarily registered person, all particulars relating to a person registered in the other part of that register or relating to persons ceasing for any reason to be entitled to be so temporarily registered.

sends by post to any registered person a registered letter addressed to him at his address on the register enquiring whether the registered particulars relating to him are correct and receives no reply to the letter within the period of six months from the date of posting it; and
(b) upon the expiration of that period sends in like manner to the person in question a second similar letter within three months from the date of posting it,
the registrar may remove the particulars relating to the person in question from the relevant part of the register; but the Board may direct the registrar to restore to the appropriate part of the register any particulars removed therefrom under this subsection.
