(1) A registered veterinary surgeon must tell the board if the veterinary surgeon is charged with an offence.
(2) A notice under subsection (1) must—
(a) identify the charge sufficiently to allow the board to decide whether the charge indicates that the veterinary surgeon may be contravening the Act; and
(b) be made as soon as practicable after the day the veterinary surgeon is charged, but in any case within 7 days after that day.
Note A reference to an Act includes a reference to the statutory instruments made or in force under the Act, including any regulation (see Legislation Act
