No
You are an OH professional and if it is your opinion following review of the patient and these guiding questions that they are fit to attend such a meeting then you can advise accordingly. If you felt you needed further evidence in order to answer the questions then you could either discuss the case with your OHP or discuss with or write to the GP for further information.
As an OH professional it is your opinion that you should be giving not a GP's but you can base your opinion on information garnered from other sources such as their GP. You may wish to say that GP states not fit but you disagree for instance.

Peter,
Does this mean that when asked this question in the referral that the
correct procedure is to write to GP to ask their advice?!

The particular guidnace comes from the Health and Work Handbook, whic I
amsure you know is the
collaborative document for primary carers and OH professionals, link below
bottom of page.20. At no
stage does it refer to a clinician/physician making this decision.

Hope this helps.

I use those criteria and in the case of depression in particular I believe
that the decision should be taken by a clinician with some experience of
seeing and treating patients with it
