(3) On receiving an application for the renewal of a licence, the Supervisory Committee shall grant the application unless it is satisfied—

(b) That the holder of the licence has not, during the currency of the licence, taken all reasonable and practicable steps to ensure that the provisions of the abortion law were complied with in the institution.
(4) Subject to the provisions of sections 26 and 27 of this Act, the decision of the Supervisory Committee in respect of every application for the renewal of a licence shall be final.
(5) Where the Supervisory Committee refuses to grant an application for the renewal of a licence, it shall notify the applicant of its decision, and shall, if requested to do so by the applicant, give to the applicant a written statement of its reasons for refusing to renew the licence.
(6) Where an application for the renewal of a licence is made in accordance with subsection (2) of this section but is not determined before the date on which the licence is due to expire, the licence shall continue in force until the application is determined.
