We refer to our decisions about whether and how particular pharmaceuticals are publicly-funded, as “funding decisions”.
We consider and assess all funding decisions using the Factors for Consideration. When we do so, we carefully evaluate clinical and other evidence for the benefits and suitability of a proposal, and to identify and understand the people who will be affected by it.
While our main task is to allocate pharmaceutical funding, we consider the benefits and costs across the whole health system now and with a long-term focus, including the effects for hospitals and primary care, and consider direct costs to patients as well as to all health sector budgets.
Final funding decisions are made by the Pharmac Board or delegated to senior Pharmac staff as required by the Board.
