AusBiotech nominates for Prostheses List advisory
26 September 2016 - Following a request from the Department of Health, AusBiotech has this week provided nominees for appointment to one position on the reconstituted Prostheses List Advisory Committee.
The Minister for Health and Ageing, the Hon Sussan Ley, announced reform to prostheses listing and the Prostheses List Advisory Committee (PLAC) earlier this month. The reconstituted PLAC will be headed by former PBAC member, Professor Terry Campbell, as independent Chair.
As a nominating body, AusBiotech has made three recommendations for the Minister’s consideration, all of whom would make a valuable contribution to the PLAC as it seeks to improve assessment process and develop and advise on changes to the prostheses listing arrangements.
