Current Caseload
During quarter 3 the number of officers in the IHR process reduced from 113 to 101. The number of IHR cases in the process for more than 12 months had reduced to 22. During Q3 the Authority approved the IHR of 25 officers and approved an IoD award for 3.
All cases continue to be assessed and progressed in date order unless there are exceptional circumstances that would necessitate a higher priority being assigned to a specific case. Some cases are more complex than others and rely on specialist opinion from external medical practitioners who are working on a range of cases.
It is therefore difficult to predict when some cases will be concluded. Efforts will continue to minimise the time that officers are in the process and reporting to the People Committee on this will continue.
