In general underreporting is very much a focus and we want to ensure that, with any case of adverse event, reporting is appropriate. My understanding is that the issue has been very closely looked at to ensure that underreporting is addressed. The government will certainly continue to monitor this issue—monitor the safety and efficacy. I note that the minister is aware of this issue and, as with any other issue, she will continue to ensure that the TGA is continually monitoring these types of circumstances. If any new evidence or data is presented, it will be considered in the decision making with regard to these types of issues.
