Annotations to present section:
Subsec. (a):
Authority granted to commissioner of public health to examine into merits of appeal of an order, and to vacate, modify
or affirm such order would have enabled commissioner to provide plaintiff with appropriate relief; thus, trial court improperly failed to dismiss plaintiff's appeal for lack of subject matter jurisdiction for failure to exhaust available administrative
remedies. 263 C. 558.
