I don't know coz when I was Ortho mo covering spine clinic previously (few posting ago) we never seem to reject referrals, even though it is for stupid things like 1 week back pain in young man with no red flags, then the pain will resolve/improve when they come and we discharge them 😂.
You get flagged if see patient too slow. Wait times to see you long long. Backlog of patients.
You get flagged if kena complaints. Do what your patient wants. If they want referral then refer. If they dowan then dont refer if you deem it ok.
