151: Medical Officer of Health may delegate functions

You could also call this:

"Someone else can do a Medical Officer of Health's job if they are qualified and chosen to help."

A Medical Officer of Health can give someone else the job of doing some of their tasks under the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012. You can be given these tasks if you are in charge of a certain health district. The Medical Officer of Health will only give you these tasks if they think you are qualified or trained to do them. They must write down that they are giving you these tasks and include certain details, such as a reference to the part of the law that allows them to do this, your full name, and the name of the health district.
