My question is for the minister for health. Minister, Australians are suffering with cost-of-living pressures. In 2018 the PBAC recommended allowing the prescribing of two months at a time's supply for 143 medications. This would save dispensing fees of up to $180 a year per prescription medicine and take pressure off GPs. Will you commit to decreasing healthcare costs by making this change to the PBAC?
