Illustration for Intellectual Disability (Compulsory Care and Rehabilitation) Act 2003

The Director-General of Health can ask you to write a report if you are a co-ordinator, care manager, or district inspector. You will get a written notice telling you what to report on. The report must be about something you do under the Intellectual Disability (Compulsory Care and Rehabilitation) Act 2003, and the Director-General of Health must need it to do their job.

You have to write about things that are part of your job, like the powers or duties you have under this Act. The Director-General of Health needs this information to do their job, which is connected to this Act.

When you get the notice, it will tell you when you need to give the Director-General of Health the report, or how often you need to give them reports.
