The Short Title of this Act is “The Medical Practitioners Registration Act, 1905”; and it shall form part of and be read together with “ The Medical Practitioners Registration Act, 1869” (hereinafter referred to as “the principal Act”).

Every person who possesses any of the qualifications mentioned in the Schedule hereto is entitled to be registered as a medical practitioner under the principal Act.

Nothing herein shall affect the registration of any person registered under the principal Act on the passing of this Act.

Where a medical graduate of a foreign university whose diploma is not recognised by the Governor in Council presents himself for the final examination of the New Zealand University, and satisfies the examiners of his proficiency and qualifications, he shall be entitled to registration.

The name of any person who has obtained registration through fraud or misrepresentation, or whose qualification has been withdrawn or cancelled by the college or university of which he is a member or by the General Medical Council of the United Kingdom, may be removed from the register by the Supreme Court upon application made in that behalf by the President of the British Medical Association of New Zealand or his deputy.

Section twelve of the principal Act is hereby repealed.
