§416.11(b)(1): Caregiver medical statements
The provider, assistants and substitutes must each give the program a medical statement from a health care provider, on the state's form or an approved equivalent. The citation concerns those statements, and the public record does not say whose was missing.

This is the text the state (OCFS) attaches to the citation. It is a template, so it can sound harsher or vaguer than the finding behind it.
Worth asking the provider

Reading it on a record
Look at whether the citation is marked open or corrected, how long ago it was cited, and whether the same section shows up on several inspections. One corrected citation is common. The same one on visit after visit is worth a direct question. Our guide to checking a daycare and methodology explain the rest.
