Section 6: Correction of register and removal of certain names from the register, etc.

(1) The registrar shall-
(a) correct, in accordance with the Council's directions, any entry in the register which the Council directs him to correct as being in the Council's opinion an entry which was incorrectly made;
(b) make from time to time any necessary alterations in the registered particulars of registered persons;
(c) remove from the register the name of every deceased person.
(2) If a registered Veterinary Surgeon has ceased to practise, the registrar may at his request or with his consent remove his name from the register.
(3) If the Registrar-
(a) 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 or whether he has ceased to practise and receives no reply to the letter within the period of six months from the date of posting of the letter; and
(b) upon the expiration of that period sends in like manner to the person in question a second similar letter and receives no reply to that letter within three months from the date of posting it,
the Registrar may remove the name and the other particulars relating to the person in question from the register.
(4) Where a person's name has been removed from the register under subsection (2) or (3) of this section, the Council may, on the application of that person, direct the Registrar to restore the name or other particulars removed therefrom unless the original entry of his name or other particulars was incorrectly or fraudulently made.
