Sec.14-45a-13. Internal procedure of board

(a) The Director shall refer all cases to the attention of the chairman of the Board. The chairman may retain the case or assign the case to any individual member or members of the Board, as he or she determines to be appropriate given the nature of the health problem that appears from the available evidence. When the assigned member(s) of the Board completes his or her review of the case, all findings, advice and recommendations shall be reported to the chairman.

(b) The chairman shall review the report on the case as completed and submitted by the assigned Board member, and he or she shall forward the same to the Director, either with or without comment. Alternatively, the chairman may ask for a review of the case and the conclusions reached therein by the entire Board. The chairman shall take such further actions as may be necessary to bring the case to the attention of every member, and to obtain the consensus and agreement of the Board as to the advice to be given, which he or she shall report forthwith to the Director.

(c) The chairman may designate an individual member of the Board to receive cases in a particular medical field from the Director, and to report his or her findings, advice and recommendations to the Director.
