Dear Mr. S Thomson

MEDICINES CONTROL COUNCIL AND COMPLEMENTARY MEDICINES COMMITTEE

Your letter dated 22 January 1997 refers.

This department has no locus standi to intervene in the matter as the procedures laid down in section 24 of the Medicines and Related Substances Control Act, (101 of 1965 ) do not allow the Minister or the Director-General to intervene in the decisions of the Medicines Control Council or its committees.

Yours faithfully

DR O SHISANA

DIRECTOR-GENERAL: HEALTH
