Recommendations
Recommendations (the sheriff's words)However, as the evidence in this Inquiry may raise a question about the level of awareness of the DVLA guidance among medical practitioners I believe the best course in the circumstances is to direct the Sheriff Clerk to bring this Determination to the attention of the appropriate medical bodies - the relevant Royal Colleges - for information, consideration and any action they think appropriate in connection with the training of their members in respect of the DVLA guidance and the relevant duties of doctors.
Under section 28 of the 2016 Act, each recipient of a recommendation must respond within 8 weeks. The 8-week window is counted from the publication date. See how we track responses.
