Reviews by the Health Professions Appeal and Review Board
Most complaints decisions issued by the ICRC are subject to review, on request of either the complainant or the physician, to the Health Professions Appeal and Review Board( HPARB).
Upon holding a review, the Board may confirm the ICRC’ s original decision, make recommendations to the ICRC, or require the ICRC to do anything it could have done at the first instance.
