This is an initial work on reviewing historical association reference set for WAS A. This work has explored the potential solutions and required changes to the current practice. We would like to understand current usage of this reference set.

| UK | 30/12/2016 | We would like to ask for an extension to the feedback time on this as such issues have to be presented to our UKTC Management Team on the 18th January. An extension until the end of Jan would be helpful though if we have to consult more widely then a further extension may be requested. We would appreciate this given the fairly low priority of this item. |
| CA | 2017-01-03 | We don't seem to have stakeholders using this in Canada. |
| AU | 2017-01-10 | Apologies for the delay. I don't believe there is any usage of this reference set in Australia, and as explained in the slides the same information can be worked out through the historical IS A relationships. My only question concern (maybe not specific to this proposal) is the example retirement of the "Fisherman"(106400003) concept... Is this just hypothetical, or a genuine planned retirement? The concept seems legitimate? (why retire) |
| SE | 2017-01-10 | No use of the WAS A refset in Sweden. |
| UK | 03/0/2017 | Feedback from the UKTC is that we can appreciate why this work would need to take place but as it isn’t urgent work we would also appreciate that any changes are delayed until after April 2018. There was concern that this could impact the UKTC SNOMED CT Query table which is a mechanism for ensuring inactive content is still returned in searches and recommended for use by Joint GP IT committee for use in Primary care systems. Given this risk a delay on work in the area of WAS A relationships would be appreciated. |

Thanks Matt Cordell, the fishman example is hypothetical for demonstration purpose only.
