 (b) impose a condition on the licence; or
 (c) suspend the licence for up to 12 months; or
 (d) act under any combination of 2 or more of paragraphs (a), (b) and (c); or
 (e) cancel the licence and disqualify the former licensee permanently or for a specified period from holding a licence.
 (2) The Secretary may take the disciplinary action by written notice given to the licensee.
 (3) That notice takes effect:
