Outcome of a reimbursement review17

1

On a review, the reimbursement review panel appointed under regulation 15 to conduct it must consider—

a

whether the Scottish Ministers ought to have reached a different decision, and

b

in the case where additional evidence is provided to or obtained by the review panel, whether the reimbursement request ought to be determined differently as a result.

2

The review panel may uphold, reverse or vary any part of the decision (whether the request for a review relates to that part of it or not).

3

Once the review panel has conducted the review, Redress Scotland must inform the Scottish Ministers who must, as soon as reasonably practicable—

a

notify the person who requested the review of the review panel’s determination, and

b

provide the person with a summary, provided by Redress Scotland, of the review panel’s reasons for reaching that determination.

The determination of the review panel under this regulation is final.
