Specialist’s report about assessment
40 Specialist’s report about assessment
A medical specialist who assesses an injured person following a request under section 39 (2) must prepare a report about the medical assessment.
If the medical specialist’s assessment differs from the medical evidence about the injured person, the report must state—
how the assessment differs and why; and
why the medical specialist’s assessment is preferable.
If there is no difference between the medical specialist’s assessment and the medical evidence, the report must say there is no difference.
The requesting person must give a copy of the report to each person to whom the requesting person must give notice under section 39 (3) within 5 working days after the day the report is given to the requesting person.
