Obviously, this will impact those people needing to meet with the Board for licenses and physician in training permit.  It remains to be seen how this will affect those people.  Moreover, people whose licenses were reinstated or whose Agreed Orders were modified or terminated will also be delayed.  Further, people expecting formal closure of their investigations will also have to wait until the November 29^th and 30^th meeting.  It does assist those pending disciplinary action by a few weeks by delaying sanction.
