Dear Mr Jordan

 

Regarding your request for:

4/ Timeframe required by the act to secure Review date upon Claimant
making an application for Medical Panel Review

We need to clarify with you the information you seek in order to enable us
to respond to your request. Please note that under section 15(1AA) of the
Act any clarification or amendment of a request is considered to be a new
request for the purpose of calculating the maximum statutory timeframe for
us to respond.

Could you please confirm whether your question relates to independent (ie
Fairway) reviews of the opinion provided to ACC by External Medical
Panels?

 

Kind regards,

Government Engagement and Support
