The Commission may revoke a certificate to operate a health care facility —
where the manager of a health care facility fails to comply with any notice served in accordance with section 17 or 18 or it is found that the premises remain unfit for the purposes for which it is certified;
on any ground that would entitle the Commission to refuse an application for the grant of the certificate;
on the ground that the prescribed certificate or renewal fee is due or unpaid;
in the case where the only holder of the certificate is a registered practitioner, on any of the grounds specified in section 36; or
on the ground that any condition attached to the holder’s certificate in respect of the health care facility has not been complied with.
If the Commission proposes to revoke a person’s certificate to operate a health care facility, the Commission shall give to the person notice in writing of the proposal and the Commission’s reasons for the proposal and shall invite the person to show cause why the Commission should not proceed as proposed.
A notice to show cause shall state that within twenty-one days of service, the person on whom it is served may make representations in writing or otherwise show cause to the Commission concerning the matter and the Commission shall not determine the matter without considering any submissions or representations received within that period of twenty-one days.
