The council of a county or county borough may grant exemption from the operation of the provisions of this Part of this Act relating to nursing homes in respect of any hospital or institution not carried on for profit, and may attach conditions to any exemption granted by them.
Any person aggrieved by the refusal of a council to grant an exemption under this section, or by any conditions attached by them to an exemption, or by their withdrawal of an exemption, may appeal to the Minister, and the Minister, after considering the matter, shall give such directions as he thinks proper, and the council shall comply with any directions so given.
