37.—(1) P may appeal to the scheme manager against the selected medical practitioner’s report if—
(a)the scheme manager determines under this Chapter that the risk that P will retire on grounds of permanent medical unfitness is such that the likely cost of providing P with ill-health benefits is disproportionately high (“the scheme manager’s determination”);
(b)P is given written notice of the scheme manager’s determination; and
(c)P is dissatisfied with the opinion of the selected medical practitioner’s report on the likelihood or likely timing (or both) of P becoming permanently medically unfit for performing the ordinary duties of a member of the police service.

(b)within 2 months (or such longer period as may be agreed by the scheme manager) of receiving notice of the scheme manager’s determination, P provides the scheme manager with evidence that P has been examined by a registered medical practitioner (“the appellant’s medical practitioner”) who disagrees with the opinion in the selected medical practitioner’s report.
(3) On an appeal under this regulation, the scheme manager must ask the selected medical practitioner—
(a)to reconsider the selected medical practitioner’s report in light of the evidence provided by P; and
(b)if necessary, to produce a revised report on the likelihood and likely timing of P becoming permanently medically unfit for performing the ordinary duties of a member of the police service (“the selected medical practitioner’s revised report”).
