PHARMAC budget 2018/19
17 May 2018 - PHARMAC is pleased that the Government has announced an uplift in PHARMAC’s funding.
The Combined Pharmaceutical Budget (CPB) will be increased to a record level of $985 million in 2018/19 - an increase of just under $114.2 million on the 2017/18 CPB level.
From 1 July 2018, PHARMAC will manage all public expenditure on medicines - whether used in the community or in hospital, and this means that all remaining DHB’s expenditure will be part of the CPB.
