Medicines Australia welcomes more money in the PBS
3 May 2018 - Medicines Australia welcomes the announcement from the Minister for Health, the Hon Greg Hunt MP’s that there will be additional funding for the PBS.
Speaking at the Australian Pharmacy Professional Conference this morning, Minister Hunt flagged changes that would ultimately allow for more new medicines to be listed on the PBS earlier and would improve access to the latest in innovative medicines for all Australians.
Minister Hunt has flagged that there will be ‘a very significant provision’ available to fund vital new medicines, following Tuesday’s Budget, and has reinforced the Coalition’s commitment to list all new medicines recommended by the PBAC.
