The Department has no plans to re-instate the reports to parliament, which were a requirement under the 2014 Pharmaceutical Price Regulation Scheme. This requirement was not included in the 2019 voluntary scheme for branded medicines pricing and access. The governance of any future voluntary scheme is subject to ongoing negotiations.
