19 August 2024 - An update from the Deputy Chair of the PBAC.
I had the responsibility of Chairing the PBAC meeting held on 10-12 July. It was a busy meeting with a full agenda, and we also welcomed new members of the PBAC to their first meeting: GP Prof Michael Kidd, oncologist A/Prof Kate Mahon, health economist Prof Richard Norman, GP A/Prof Ines Rio, psychiatrist A/Prof Melanie Turner, as well as welcoming back cardiologist, Dr Ray Parkin, who has been reappointed for another term.
As Prof Ward outlined in June’s communication, this update is in addition to the formal PBAC minutes and is intended to give a wider picture of the Committee and its discussions.
