The department is ensuring that manufacturers make instructions available to women, along with a form called a checklist, so that women can engage in an informed discussion with their surgeon or physician. That is already provided and women have access to it.
Health Canada is currently working on a version that will also be available on its website. Patient group representatives were actually involved in this development. The form will provide an even more consistent and uniform approach for all women when they want to discuss the risks of breast implants before surgery.
