There are matching sections in the report where the assessor has to justify what they are saying. If they are unable to properly do that, then they are pulled up on it by the audit process. The audit process works BOTH ways. If an assessor is seen to be too harsh or is not applying the rules properly, then that can also be highlighted.


Eg If the assessor states "breathlessness on exertion" and that is backed up by GP and hospital reports, 2 weeks in intensive care with double pulmonary embolism and heart failure, but later states "no problems" and justifies that with saying "not breathless when brushing teeth", shouldn't they be pulled up on that?
