| 1. | THE RESTORATION PROCESS FOR PHARMACISTS REMOVED FROM THE REGISTER |
In terms of the Pharmacy Act, 53 of 1974, the South African Pharmacy Council (SAPC) is responsible for the registration of pharmacy professionals as well as keeping the registers of such persons. To safeguard the public, registration with the SAPC is a pre-requisite to practice the pharmacy profession. It is a criminal offence to practise pharmacy without registering with the SAPC. In terms of the Pharmacy Act, the requirements and conditions for registration, removal, or restoration of the various categories of persons shall be prescribed.
The name of a person whose name has, in terms of this section, been removed from the register, or an entry removed from the register in terms of Section 14(4) of the Pharmacy Act, shall be restored to the register by the Registrar, upon the person concerned—
| (a) | applying on the prescribed form for such restoration; |
| (b) | paying the fee prescribed in respect of such restoration (if any); and |
| (c) | complying with such other requirements as the Council may determine. |
| 1.1 | Regulation 22 of the Regulations relating to the registration of persons and maintenance of registers (GNR.1160, published on 20 November 2000) |
| 22. | Restoration to the register — A pharmacist whose name was removed from the register in terms of Regulation 21 may, if applicable, have his or her name restored to the register by— |
| (1) | submitting to the Registrar: |
| (a) | a duly completed application for restoration of his or her name to the register on a form as approved and provided by Council; |
| (b) | acceptable documentary evidence that he or she complies with the conditions under which he or she was registered as a pharmacist; and |
| (2) | paying the prescribed restoration fee; and |
| (3) | if the Registrar is satisfied that he or she is a fit and proper person to be restored to the relevant register. |
If the Registrar is not satisfied that he or she is a fit and proper person to be restored to the relevant register, the Registrar must submit the application concerned to Council for a decision.
