Mr Carrim's doctor

CHAIRPERSON notes that there was strong opposition previously to an assessment by an independent doctor and no such counter-report was provided.

“I think at the last appearance you strongly opposed any idea of an assessment by an independent doctor, so on that basis there can be no question of us having a report by a doctor challenging what Mr Carrim 's doctor says. So we all understand why there is no opposition … It is not as if with an opportunity available for another doctor to counter this doctor 's report, no counter was furnished .”

The Commission insists Mr Carrim should be subjected to assessment by an independent doctor to counter the clinical conclusions of Mr Carrim's doctor.

“the Evidence Leaders have done is to say Mr Carrim must be subjected to an assessment by an independent doctor... that would counter all of the clinical conclusions reached by Mr Carrim's doctor”
