5. Meetings and Meeting Materials
Proposed Change
Response
Add a patient representative to the list
of individuals who are allowed to
attend clinical committee, advisory
group, and work group meetings.
Given the discussion, staff does not
believe this language should be added
in the bylaws. The description of who
is allowed to attend committee
meetings, in 5.2.1 (below), is
sufficient, e.g., committee chairs can
invite guests.
5.2.1 These meetings are limited to members of the committee and
guests invited by the chair of the committee.
