 The question again is, if the actual dose for a specific facility is not 
 spelled out, just the annual to date total dose, is the consent form 
 required. I say yes. Others say no. I would like to hear from 
 regulatory agencies. But I ask that my original question be re-read, 
 so the complete intent is understood. >>

I think the regulatory agencies have not answered, because this is not 
something that we would get involved in...Whether or not consent is required 
to pass on dose information is a legal privacy question.
