Could the witnesses refer to the fact that we are always learning and the yellow card system? There is a reference to the changes for codeine in the context of lactating mothers and the shifting of the age for aspirin. It is important to get the message out there that just because something grows in a field, it does not mean it is okay. I would like the witnesses to briefly outline how we constantly look at our data and just because something is a plant does not mean it is fine.
