THE IMPACT OF PBS REFORMS ON PBS EXPENDITURE AND SAVINGS: Actual and Projected from 2008-09 to 2017-18

Centre for Strategic Economic Studies

This new report by the Centre for Strategic Economic Studies (CSES) at Victoria University examines the impact of PBS reform measures since their implementation.  CSES was commissioned by Medicines Australia to analyse trends in overall PBS expenditure and to report on how recent reforms have affected stakeholders, namely, Government, pharmacists, wholesalers, manufacturers and patients. The report also models the potential impact of the PBS price disclosure mechanism. The findings were reviewed favourably by Access Economics.
