As it is not your recommendation I'd stick to 'you couldn’t possibly comment on the findings of an assessment done by another clinician who may be in possession of health information you are not privy to when they came to their conclusion'.
You have already made your assessment and given your findings - leave this with management to agree directly as you are 'not adding value' here
'adding value' = 'give a monkeys' or more diplomatically 'making best use of resources by not wasting them on things that should be done by others' and can be employed in sentences with management such as 'I am not sure how I can add value to this' or 'can you tell me how you think I can add value here because I'm not quite seeing it'

Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] Pregnancy
Hi List
Last week I sought advice about one of my pregnant employees who is 30/40 and was requesting to reduce her working hours with immediate effect. I took on board some of your advice and recommended that she used the First Aid Room to rest on certain times to reduce the fatigue, use of a leg rest rest to help with the swelling and that I would review her in a couple of weeks or even earlier if required. She has been to see her GP who has recommended that she reduces her hours and she has come back asking for my opinion. Should I leave this issue with Management to sort out the hours although I know they will come back to me asking for a prescription that stipulates what hours she can work and even what breaks she is entitled to?
Regards
Sandra
