I will search back into previous Human Services experience in relation to assessments for the disability support payments. Prior to 2015 the government made a number of changes to assessment processes, which included independent medical panels selected by government as opposed to an individual's general practitioner or other medical professional. That is one aspect of it. But I'm very happy to provide further details of that on notice as well.
