Acts are laws made by Parliament
(1) Meetings of the Council shall be held at such times and places as the Council or the Chairman may from time to time appoint.
(2) At any meeting of the Council 4 members shall form a quorum.
(3) Every question before any meeting of the Council shall be determined by a majority of the votes of the members present and voting thereon.
(4) The Chairman shall have a deliberative vote and, in the case of an equality of votes, shall also have a casting vote.
(5) In the absence from any meeting of the Council of the Director-General, he may appoint an officer of the Ministry of Health to attend the meeting in his stead. Every person so appointed by the Director-General shall be a medical practitioner. While any person is attending any meeting of the Council pursuant to this subsection he shall be deemed for all purposes to be a member of the Council. The fact that any person so attends shall be sufficient evidence of his authority so to do.
(6) Except as expressly provided in this Act or in any regulations thereunder, the Council may regulate its procedure in such manner as it thinks fit.
