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 .
