Letters to the editor

Abstract

In response to Trevor Thornton's article, 'Investigating management costs of disposable and reusable sharps containers' (AIC Autumn 1998), a lack of information on Australasian medical waste in the available literature prompts me to congratulate the author on his attempts to rectify the situation. However, in my view, without adequate peer review to ensure clarity of substance and the removal of unsubstantiated statements, articles lose their scientific credibility.
