(b) by deleting subclause (2) and substituting therefor the following new subclause (2)- (2) In this section, “the former Board” means the Board of the National Quality Control Laboratory established under the Pharmacy and Poisons Act, Cap. 244. (c) in subclause (3)- i. by deleting the word ‘twelve’ appearing in the opening sentence and substituting therefor the words ‘twenty-four’; (a) by inserting the following new paragraph immediately after paragraph (b)- “(c) after the expiry of the period of twenty-four months- i. the Pharmacy and Poisons Board shall be dissolved, and the provisions of subsection (1)(a), (b) and (c) shall, with the necessary modifications, apply; and, ii. the remaining members and staff of the Pharmacy and Poisons Board shall be deemed to be members and staff of the Authority, and subject to the provisions of any rules made under this Act, shall continue in office for the period for which they were appointed as members and staff of the Pharmacy and Poisons Board. Clause 96(a)(i) and (ii) and (b) provides for the transition of both the Pharmacy and Poisons Board and the Board of Management of the National Quality Control Laboratory because we are creating a new board. We are amending Clause 96(3) with (c), which has (a) and (b) and provides sufficient time to facilitate conducting extensive stakeholder participation on regulation of pharmacy practice regulations. The amendment further seeks to ensure that the Pharmacy and Poisons Board shall continue to exist."
