Annex C: Evidence Matrix

70. The matrix below provides an overview of the appropriate types of evidence that could be requested for each type of setting, along with evidence that may be requested for a private or third sector provider that is higher risk. Not all evidence will necessarily be requested. The evidence requested regarding a provider’s business sustainability will be reasonable in terms of the size, scope and risk associated with the settings the provider operates.
