COPENHAGEN (Thomson Financial) - Coloplast AS said the UK Health Department has extended until Dec 28 the ongoing consultation process on revised proposals about the provision of stoma and incontinence appliances and related services to primary care, to allow the Department to receive further responses to the proposed classification of products.
The process was previously due to end on Nov 29.
Once the consultation process ends, the Department will need some time to evaluate the responses received before a decision can be made.
Coloplast does not expect to get a decision until early 2008, while the implementation of any decisions will not take place until six months following the announcement of the outcome of the consultation. michael.delaine@thomson.com mdl/slj COPYRIGHT Copyright Thomson Financial News Limited 2007.
