Senate debates Questions without Notice
Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme

Further to my previous answer, the senator is asking me to make a political determination of what is an issue around requiring expert advice in determining which medicines are appropriate to be subsidised through the testing process. Again, I reiterate to the senator that this is a matter for the PBAC. It is not a matter for political judgement. We will continue to take the advice of the Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee.
