23DXA  Grant of remote area exemption—stationing diagnostic imaging equipment and employees at the premises of another practitioner

  The Minister must, by written notice given to the applicant, grant a remote area exemption under this section to the applicant to station diagnostic imaging equipment or an employee at premises specified in the application if the Minister is satisfied that:
 (a) the application is in the form approved by the Minister; and
 (b) those premises are in an area that is a remote area for the purposes of this Division; and
 (c) the facilities for rendering diagnostic imaging services in that area (including facilities provided by practitioners visiting the area regularly and facilities provided by practitioners to whom a remote area exemption has been granted under section 23DX) are such that patients in the area would suffer physical or financial hardship if the exemption were not granted.
