Re-assessment of eligibility of person entitled to receive services
12B. Re-assessment of eligibility of person entitled to receive services
(1) If at any time the Secretary believes on reasonable grounds that an
assessment of a person over the age of 5 years who is entitled to receive
services under this Act (including a person referred to in section 12A(1)) may
result in the person not being assessed as intellectually disabled, he or she
may direct that the person be re-assessed in accordance with section 8 or, in
the case of a person referred to in section 12A(1), assessed if he or she has
not previously been assessed in accordance with section 8.
(2) The Secretary may give a direction under sub-section (1) on his or her own
initiative or at the request of the person entitled to receive services or of
his or her parent, guardian or primary-carer.
(3) If after the completion of the re-assessment or assessment the Secretary
is not satisfied that the person is intellectually disabled, the Secretary
must within 14 days of the re-assessment or assessment being completed-
(a) revoke any declaration of eligibility previously issued; and
(b) ensure that arrangements are made to convey to the person who has been
re-assessed or assessed the reasons why that person is no longer
eligible for services in the language, mode of communication or terms
which that person is most likely to understand.
