Minister, last week the Senate agreed without dissent to the coalition's second reading amendment to national health amendment bill which called on the government to urgently list Trikafta on the PBS for children aged between six and 11 years old with cystic fibrosis, noting that the PBAC recommended it be listed in November last year. Considering this, when will the government announce the listing to the 500 children aged between six and 11 with cystic fibrosis who will benefit from the affordable access of this life changing medicine?
