I refer the witness to 6.2 on page 3.
It states that in regard to the question of the test to be applied, the view of the Medical Council is that the diagnosis should be evidence based and made expeditiously or within a defined time limit. Can I ask what evidence-based diagnosis is being talked about in that paragraph? Deputy Regina Doherty asked in a different way about the sort of risk assessment or what happens when a doctor is going to make a decision.
