What is considered a “suitable person” in terms of who can be a licensee, PO, CGO and key appointment holder?

Healthcare Services (General) Regulations, Governance of Licensees

Updated by MOH

For the purposes of determining whether or not a person is a suitable person under HCSA, the following are considered:


  • Any evidence that the person is an undischarged bankrupt;

  • Any prior conviction of offences under the HCSA, PHMCA or any applicable act, as well as offences involving fraud and dishonesty and offences specified in the Third Schedule of the Registration of Criminals Act 1949;

  • Any evidence of the cancellation, removal or suspension of the person’s registration under any applicable act;

  • Any evidence of the revocation or suspension of any license granted to the person under HCSA or PHMCA.


You may refer to further guidance on the suitability requirements for each of these roles in the Code of Practice found here.
