Consultation Report

IMPORTANT POINTS TO NOTE

  1. The layout and presentation of information in the consultation report has some key requirements in terms of what must always be shown to the user, where that is the case it is clearly marked.
  2. The report should always include a date and time in the users local time that it was generated. This should be clearly shown.
