Foetal Anti-Convulsant Syndrome: Discussion

9:00 am

Dr. Almath Spooner:

This is a European story. As members have acknowledged, the European decision-making process finalises with the European Commission decision and those administrative steps are ongoing. The recommendation is firm. It is just the physical changes to the documentation that have yet to be made. It is in the process of being finalised. In this regard, we are speaking about weeks or months rather than any longer.
