A person who has been given, or is entitled to be given, a decision notice under section 110 (2) or (4) for the internal review decision may, by notice (a referral request ), ask the agency to refer the medical matter to a medical tribunal.

If a person makes a referral request, the person must give a copy of the request to any other affected person for the request.
