Review of the Appointment Protocol for the Pharmacology and Therapeutics Advisory Committee


Date of publication: March 2008
Submissions closed date: 28 April 2008

Summary


Medicines New Zealand aims to ensure the New Zealand medicines system is transparent, accessible and trusted.

Responding to concerns raised by some submitters during the development of Medicines New Zealand, the Ministry of Health, together with PHARMAC, is reviewing the protocol for appointing members to PHARMAC’s Pharmacology and Therapeutics Advisory Committee (PTAC).

PTAC is a statutory committee made up of vocationally registered medical practitioners with expertise in clinical pharmacology, internal medicine and general practice. The primary purpose of PTAC is to provide PHARMAC with objective advice on pharmaceuticals and their benefits.

How to have your say


We invite interested people to provide a written submission to medicinesnewzealand@moh.govt.nz by 28 April 2008.
