§ Mr. Tierneyasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if the Committee on Safety of Medicines, currently considering ways of improving the recognition and reporting of adverse reactions from drugs, has yet reported.
§ Mr. Moyle:On 27th June 1978 I advised my hon. Friend that the Committee on Safety of Medicines was undertaking consultations with the appropriate professional bodies on proposals for the improved postmarketing surveillance of drugs to complement its "yellow card" system for the reporting by doctors of suspected adverse reactions to drugs. Those consultations are still in progress. —[Vol. 952, c. 529–311
