2 May 2019 - Medicines Australia urges the Minister for Health the Hon Greg Hunt MP and the Shadow Health Minister the Hon Catherine King MP to use today’s Health Policy Debate at the National Press Club as an opportunity to outline their plans for the future sustainability and viability of the PBS.

Medicines Australia CEO Liz de Somer said that both major parties have a strong focus on listing new medicines and providing funding for disease groups.

“We welcome these announcements, but we need to also look to the future and ensure our funding and regulatory systems are up to the challenge,” Ms de Somer said.
