PODIATRISTS ACT 2005 (NO. 30 OF 2005) - SECT 66

66 .         Report of examination

        (1)         A medical practitioner who conducts an examination under section 65 is to give a report of the examination to the impairment review committee and, not more than 7 days later, the committee is to give a copy of the report to the podiatrist.

        (2)         Despite subsection (1), if it appears to the impairment review committee that the disclosure to the podiatrist of information in the report might be prejudicial to the physical or mental health or wellbeing of the podiatrist, the committee may decide not to give that report to the podiatrist but to give it instead to a medical practitioner or another podiatrist nominated by the podiatrist.

        (3)         If the podiatrist does not nominate a medical practitioner or another podiatrist to the impairment review committee within 7 days of being requested to do so by the committee, the committee may give the report to a medical practitioner or podiatrist selected by the committee.

        (4)         The podiatrist may make written representations to the impairment review committee with respect to the report within 7 days after the report is given to him or her or the medical practitioner or podiatrist nominated by him or her or selected by the committee.
