Forty-four 44 notifications were closed nationally by 30 June 2013 and of those 29 were managed outside of NSW.Of the 29 cases closed under the National Sche, the Optometry Board of Australia determined:
– that no further action was required or that the notification should be handled by the health complaints entity that had received the notification in 28 cases;
– imposed conditions on the registration of one practitioner; and
– the board published new or revised documents: guidelines for use of scheduled medicine and continuing professional development and Continuing professional development registration standard.
