PHARMAC, is seeking feedback on a proposal to amend the Pharmaceutical Schedule rules relating to the Dispensing Frequency rule. If the changes proceed, it would result in increased frequency of subsidised dispensing for some patients in residential care. The paper also includes a proposal to add zopiclone to the Safety Medicines list.

Feedback Due: Please send comments to Policy Analyst, Marilyn Head  marilynh@nzno.org.nz, or 04 494 6372 by Nov 30, 2013.
