Response
By way of explanation, applications for Ill-Health Retirement submitted by or on behalf of police officers, and applications for Injury on Duty Awards submitted by or on behalf of police officers/former police officers are dealt with by Police Scotland on behalf of the Authority.
We have interpreted your request referring to ‘independent medical referee(s)’ as a reference to Police Medical Appeal Boards (PMABs) which determine appeals by individuals against decisions of Selected Medical Practitioners. Again, it is Police Scotland which refers appeals to PMABs for determination.
