Regulation 5 Removal of a reviewer

The Panel may remove a person from the pool of potential reviewers at any time.

Where, following a reviewer’s appointment but prior to a report or information relating to improvements being published, the Panel determines that a reviewer should be removed from a review, the Secretary of State must remove the reviewer from the review.

Where the Secretary of State removes a reviewer from a review prior to a review being completed, the Panel must consider appointing another reviewer, in accordance with regulation 4(3) and (4).
