The report is to include the following—
an assessment of the care and treatment of the offender while in custody,
an assessment of the offender’s psychiatric, cognitive and psychological development since the provisional sentence was imposed,
such other matters as the court requires to be addressed in the report.
A court that conducts a progress review may also request any other person who, or body that, has responsibilities with respect to the care and treatment of the offender to provide information about the offender.
A court that conducts a progress review may have regard to the information obtained under this section, in addition to any other relevant evidence provided by a party to the proceedings, in deciding whether or not it is appropriate at that time to impose a final sentence on the offender.
