Good day. I have two questions for the witnesses.
Ms. Yeates, there are two types of analyses. I would like to focus on the Canadian Medication Incident Reporting and Prevention System pursuant to which data on medical accidents and incidents is collected, analysed, exchanged and reported.
Earlier, I asked you to describe for me the role you play in monitoring the safety of pharmaceutical products. You responded that this was neither the role, nor the mandate of your organization. However, the mandate of CMIRPS includes collecting data. I am trying to understand the responsibilities the various players have when it comes to pharmacovigilance. MedEffect also gathers data, just as CMIRPS does.
Are you involved in this process? Where do you draw the line? Do you rely on information from these two databases? Would it be preferable to have only one database? Can you explain the difference to us? Do you all work together, or do you work alone?
