I can confirm that the government will follow the intent of Senators Xenophon and Fielding’s amendment and that there will be a six-monthly discussion. That discussion can canvass whatever issues the participants want it to cover, and a formal report of that will be tabled every six months. I think that is quite a robust form of review that includes all the participants in the delivery of pharmaceuticals in the country.
