45AB Consent for participation in clinical trials in individual cases
(1) If
the Tribunal is satisfied as to the matters specified in section 45AA (2) in
relation to a clinical trial, it may, by order, determine:
(a) that the
function of giving or withholding consent for the carrying out of medical or
dental treatment on patients in the course of the trial is to be exercised by
the persons responsible for the patients (in which case Division 3 applies),
or
(b) that the Tribunal is to exercise that function itself (in which case
Division 4 applies).
(2) Before making a determination referred to in
subsection (1) (a), the Tribunal must be satisfied that the form for granting
consent and the information available about the trial provide sufficient
information to enable the persons responsible to decide whether or not it is
appropriate that the patients should take part in the trial.
