I move amendment No. 11:

In page 10, line 17, after “opinion,” to insert the following:“such opinion being corroborated by independent written medical advice,”.

I do not want to make a huge issue of this but this is in the context of independent corroboration of medical evidence. There are many reasons a person may want to be removed from a board for whatever reasons. The medical evidence presented should be independently validated.

One never knows the reason a person may want to be removed but in the context of ensuring it is done in accordance with best practice, that independent medical evidence should be corroborated.
