Clarification of stationary establishments
 

I noticed that the proposed changes include changes in the terms and perhaps definitions of establishments, changing "full service and restricted" to "stationary and ambulatory."

I have a question about that.

I am currently the VIC at a spay/neuter clinic.  We currently have a restricted establishment license as we do not have x-ray services on-site (we do have a letter from a colleague stating they will provide any such services.) We are definitely a stationary clinic, but do not provide all services required (such as x-ray) to be what was formally called full service.  What would we be considered under these new regulations?  Will there be "types" of stationary establishments?

Thanks for any clarification you can provide.
