Schedules Schedule 1: Further Provision about the Commissioner for Patient Safety Supplementary functions and information
Paragraph 3(1) sets out the supplementary functions the Commissioner may exercise for the purposes of carrying out their core duties. These include making reports or recommendations to relevant persons; consulting patients and appropriate persons; as well as requesting information from and sharing information with, relevant persons.
	Paragraph 3(2) provides that a relevant person to whom a report or recommendation is made must provide a response within such period as the Commissioner may reasonably require.

	Paragraph 3(5) provides definitions. It outlines that in paragraph 3 "relevant person" means a person who exercises functions of a public nature in England in relation to medicines and medical devices; and any other person who, in the course of providing health care, provides services relating to medicines or medical devices in relation to England.
