I think it is going too far, because not in all circumstances would you require a specialist, particularly if the specialist is required to be a psychiatrist. There may be times when you need a specialist. That is when a physician, whether the first or the second physician, is not confident they can assess whether the criteria have been met or not, and so they would then get a second opinion, which is what they do all the time, so I would revert to standard medical practice on that.
