I think the question is a good question. The system that we have set up is that the blood regulator regulates the blood system and the blood supply to make sure we have the safest blood supply possible.
What this conference was intended to do was to start the conversation around how we make that blood supply more inclusive. How do we get data in the men who have sex with men category, to show that the risk is low to non-existent? I think the answer to your question is that the system we have now is one in which the regulators petition and inform the Department of Health of their science and advocate for a deferral period or not, and then the minister approves it. To do otherwise would be political.
