b) a business registrant’s fitness to carry on business as an optometrist or a dispensing optician (or both) is impaired; or
c) a student registrant’s fitness to undertake training as an optometrist or a dispensing optician is impaired.
They decide whether an allegation should be referred to the Fitness to Practise Committee for a full inquiry, and if not, what the next course of action should be.
