Private Health Facilities Act 2007

The licensee may authorise a serious adverse event review team to discontinue taking any further steps in relation to a serious adverse event review of an incident—

if advice has been provided to the licensee and the chair of the medical advisory committee for the private health facility under section 49 and the licensee and chair are both of the opinion that the incident was substantially caused by a performance or impairment issue in relation to a health practitioner and the team is not likely to identify any other root causes, contributory factors or system improvements, or

in circumstances prescribed by the regulations.

A serious adverse event review team that is authorised under this section may, if it considers it to be appropriate, determine to take no further steps in relation to the serious adverse event review and in such a case may discontinue the review.
