26 Referral for further consulting assessment
(1) If an individual’s consulting practitioner (the original consulting
practitioner) decides that the individual does not meet the eligibility
requirements, the individual’s coordinating practitioner may refer the
individual to another health practitioner for a further consulting
assessment.
(2) If the other health practitioner accepts the referral, the original
consulting practitioner stops being the consulting practitioner for the
individual when the other health practitioner gives the board notice
under section 22 (2).
