Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 40 days
- Trigger
- The last day on which the practitioner concerned can appeal against the relevant decision
- Counting
- The encoded calculator method must be independently documented before publication.
- Rollovers and holidays
- Holiday, closure and order treatment must be independently documented before publication.
This route remains in preparation until a pinpoint official source is recorded.
- A hard statutory bar on the Authority: it 'may not so refer a case' after the period expires. No extension power.
- Crucial for advising a practitioner that a favourable outcome is not final. The 40 days run from the END of the practitioner's own 28-day appeal window, so a GMC decision is not safe from PSA challenge until roughly 68 days after service. Section 29(7B) refers to the Anaesthesia Associates and Physician Associates Order 2024, confirming this text is current.
