Thank you for taking the time. That was more work than a reply usually is.

Grateful for the specificity. Vague answers to this question are what sent me looking.

Adding the measurement that post #8 says would settle it.

Where a service has its own criteria layered on top of national guidance, those are the criteria that decide the outcome, and they are usually published.

Stating my assumptions rather than smuggling them in.

The documentation on NHS criteria is better than this thread and I say that as someone who has posted in the thread.

Trying to state the NHS criteria position in a way that someone who disagrees would recognise as fair, because I do not think the version in this thread passes that test.

Small correction to my own earlier position on NHS criteria. I had the units the wrong way round, which changes the conclusion by an order of magnitude and therefore changes it entirely.
