Thank you or your request of 14 December 2023.
Clarification needed
Part of your request asks for the number reports by Dr Meads that were
‘peer reviewed and declined’.
It is not the case that ACC makes decisions on assessments by providers,
declining or accepting them. Noting this, could you please provide
clarification of what you mean by ‘declined’?
