Pursuant to
Section
40(1) of The Medical Act, Council may appoint a
Program Review Committee which may investigate and inspect on
behalf of Council, all diagnostic and treatment facilities in which
services are performed by members, other than those which are under
the jurisdiction of the provincial or municipal governments and
those facilities that are approved hospitals under
The
Manitoba Hospitals Act. In accordance with
Section
40(6) of The Medical Act, the Program Review Committee may
enter into agreements with any level of government to expand its
jurisdiction to facilities within the jurisdiction of
that government.
Council may
make By-Laws as to matters pertaining to the establishment and
operation of diagnostic and treatment facilities to ensure that the
procedures and standards of care set by Council for the protection
of the public are carried out in all such
facilities.
Where the
Program Review Committee reports to Council that a diagnostic and
treatment facility does not appear to meet the required standards,
Council shall consider the report and may refer the matter to the
Investigation Committee. Where Council determines that
the diagnostic and treatment facility does not meet the required
standards, Council may order that the diagnostic and treatment
facility forthwith cease operation until the standards are
met.

Subcommittees of the Program Review Committee, together with links
