| Clarification | A procedural review request was received from GlaxoSmithKline Inc. on February 6, 2015. As per Section 3 of the pCODR Procedural Review Guidelines, this procedural review request was submitted on the basis that pCODR failed to act in accordance with its procedures in conducting the review, as described in the pCODR Procedures, and that pERC failed to apply its deliberative framework in formulating its recommendation, as outlined in the pERC Deliberative Framework. As per Section 6 of the pCODR Procedural Review Guidelines, the procedural review request was reviewed by the President and CEO of CADTH, with advice from the pCODR Advisory Committee (PAC) Chair and Vice-Chair. It was determined on February 20, 2015, that the grounds for a procedural review request did not exist. As such, a Notification to Implement has been issued for February 23, 2015. |
