    "content": "(5) The quorum for the conduct of business at a meeting of the Council shall be five members. (6) The chairperson shall preside at all meetings of the Council but in the absence of the chairperson the members present shall appoint one of their number to preside at the meeting. (7) The Council shall meet at least once in every three months. (8) The Council may appoint suitable persons to assist in carrying out particular decisions of the Council or particular duties or investigations for the Council. (9) The powers of the Council shall not be affected by any vacancy in the membership thereof. (10) Subject to the provisions of this Act, the Council may regulate its own procedure. The amendment introduces qualifications for one to be appointed as a Chairperson of the Board and to ensure that the Council shall comprise persons with knowledge and expertise to matters related to the medical and dental profession. The amendment also seeks to include the Principal Secretaries for Health and Finance in the membership of the Council in compliance with provisions of section 6(1) of the State Corporations Act. The amendment further provides, with certainty, the institutions which shall nominate representatives to the Council. This is an improvement of the Bill, which only provides that the Cabinet Secretary shall appoint persons who are not public officers. I move, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady."
