Who can be appointed as an authorised person? Is this done through contracts?
Healthcare Services Act(Advertisement) Regulations, General
The licensee may appoint and authorise any person or party to advertise on his behalf. These persons or parties may be the licensee’s employees or an external agent. The appointments and authorisations should be appropriately documented such as through contractual arrangement or letter of appointments. Notwithstanding the said contractual agreement, the licensee ultimately is responsible to ensure all advertisements relating to the licensable healthcare service(s) comply with the stipulated requirements.
Licensees may wish to seek independent legal advice on appointing an authorised person to advertise their services.
