    How this respondent position was interpreted

    PFD Monitor created a concise, searchable interpretation from the published response wording shown below.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    The Regulation 28 concern is factually incorrect because the evidence did not establish that Spire lacked customary written appointment reminders.

    Verbatim wording from the response

    “Having now had an opportunity to consider the recording of the evidence that was provided to the Court, we believe that the concern expressed in the Regulation 28 Report is factually incorrect. At no point during his evidence did ████████ state that it was not customary to forward written reminders of a patient’s forthcoming appointments. Had he stated as such, this would in any event have been incorrect (for the reasons we have set out below).”
