Regulation 7 Surveillance procedures and methodologies
The Committee must—
establish procedures for the collection and sharing of information from the epidemiological surveillance undertaken under this Part; and
endeavour to harmonise and rationalise operating methodologies for such surveillance.
The Committee may update the procedures established under paragraph (1)(a) from time to time.
The UK public health agency in relation to England, in cooperation with the other UK public health agencies, must—
provide quality assurance by monitoring and evaluating epidemiological surveillance activities to ensure optimal operation of the surveillance; and
maintain databases for any epidemiological surveillance undertaken.
Where the UK public health agency in relation to England—
has received data from another UK public health agency relating to epidemiological surveillance undertaken by that agency under regulation 6(2); and
has analysed that data,
the UK public health agency in relation to England must communicate the results of the analysis to all the UK public health agencies.
