Context
This question relates to medical specialists exercising rights of private practice in public hospital outpatient departments. The questioner wanted to know if both Dr ABC and XYZ can use the referral in this context, given they are both named on it. In addition, the questioner had received advice that a “named referral” under the National Health Reform Agreement can only have one name on it, not two. The advice was that the referral had to have “a” name on it, and this was therefore an invalid referral.
