If a request for a review has been received (B2), now also complete B3 and B4 by placing crosses in
the relevant boxes.
B3 The person who is the subject of the standard authorisation
Their representative
The managing authority
B4 The standard authorisation is presently suspended and therefore no review can
be requested or carried out while that remains the case.
This standard authorisation is not presently suspended.
Note: no review may be requested while a standard authorisation is suspended. If a review has already
been requested, or is being carried out, no steps may be taken in connection with that review while the
authorisation remains suspended.
If you have received a copy of this notice, it is because the supervisory body is required to give notice of the
review to the following persons:
(a) the person who is the subject of the standard authorisation
(b) the person’s representative
(c) the managing authority of the hospital or care home.
This notice must be given before the review starts or, if that is not practicable, as soon as practicable after it
has begun.
