als dessen ('dessen' refers to the RGU)

Explanation:
The RGU's opinion concerning xxx is fully supported by their controlling authority = the government of Upper Bavaria.

I wonder if you could just say "by the relevant controlling authority".

als dessen in its capacity as

Explanation:
I think the "Regierung von Oberbayern" IS the "Fachaufsichtsbehörde" (supervising the "RGU") and, in its capacity as supervisory body of the RGU, it supports the RGU's opinion.

Otherwise (i.e. if it was the "Regierung von Oberbayern" or the "medizinische Laien" that were supervised) the OT would have had to read "als deren Fachaufsichtsbehörde."
