11    report, in a manner determined by rule, each injury allegedly

18    Code  of  Civil  Procedure,  except as provided in subsection

25    verified and to which the identity of an individual cannot be
26    linked by a recipient of the data, report its findings to the
27    General Assembly by December 31,  1997,  and  every  2  years
28    thereafter.
