I'm glad you didn't find something that was completely opposite to what I'd said this morning.
We know development happens slowly. I think, from the profession's perspective, we recognize that we actually have to try to change and develop better systems.
One of the things we've done as an association that publishes a lot of information about drugs is actually shift a lot of our material into a digital format. It can be accessed through a web portal and made available online to health care professionals at point of care. So from our specific association's perspective, we've done a lot to improve the delivery of information to health care professionals.
I think the other thing that's happened is that we, and most of the associations represented here, have actually started to build our links with two groups—other health care providers, in our case particularly physicians, and also patient groups—to begin to understand some of the issues that consumers have. We have made some progress in terms of developing more collaborative approaches.
I think the question of an independent agency comes up fairly frequently. I think that's an interesting one that we may have to look at more closely.
Something that we've called for, as an association, is what we've called a national medication management centre that would look at drug safety, effectiveness, and appropriate use, and that would be a stand-alone, independent agency. I think we've made some progress, but obviously there's still more work needed.
