Executive Summary
Australia's Therapeutic Goods Administration's "should move away from the conservative approach that has characterised its actions in the past and recognise that it has a duty to collaborate with stakeholders to create a culture in which the community has confidence in the therapeutic goods the TGA regulates". This is the conclusion of the government-constituted panel that was tasked with assessing, and suggesting recommendations for improving, the transparency of the TGA's regulatory decision-making processes.
