Mr Hogan presented updated high level safety need data, including 2010 data for the United Kingdom (PSI-06-06).

Mr Hogan noted that Australian data was currently only available at a national level up until 2006, but that MUARC were working on national estimates for later years. In the absence of more recent Australian national data, Victorian state data (approximately one quarter of the Australian population) was included for 2009.

Mr Hogan noted that this high level safety need data would be included in the preamble of the GTR and should ideally be the most recent available. Australia would therefore be requesting updated (2010) high level safety need data from contracting parties.

ACTION: Australia to request/collect high level 2010 safety need data from contracting party members of the informal group.
