New Zealand's new THERAPEUTIC PRODUCTS BILL currently before Select Committee
FYI... New Zealand's newly drawn up THERAPEUTIC PRODUCTS BILL to replace our current "Medicines Act" is currently before the government's Select Committee, having been hurried through during these Christmas/New Year holidays... hmmm?!?! This new bill will effect everyone in some way or another, and in it's current form and wording, not always in a good way. In general terms it will impact your access to and use of health supplements, products, devices and services... and of even greater concern to cancer patients in particular will not allow them to import prescription chemo medicines, whether cheaper generic ones, or actual brand name ones... which has been allowed without any problems for years and years by countless people under the current Medicines Act. I'm hoping that this last issue is an oversight that can be corrected. If you are interested/concerned here is a link to take you to the Therapeutic Products Bill. www.parliament.nz... You will see an option on the page to "Read the bill" , or at least the parts that concern you, and an option to "Make a submission". Submissions close on 15th Feb. And it's easy to make a submission, just follow the prompts - one box to explain your concerns, and another box to offer a recommendation for sorting the problem. The Ministry of Health has been working on this bill for the last 2 or 3 years, so there's bound to be some glitches that need fixing. Here's hoping !!!
