Transcription

1 Level 14, Cigna House, 17 October Mercer Street P O Box , Wellington NEW ZEALAND Phone Fax TO: PHARMACEUTICAL SUPPLIERS CONSULTATION ON TENDER OF CERTAIN PHARMACEUTICALS AND REQUESTS FOR PROPOSALS PHARMAC is consulting on tendering for supply of certain pharmaceuticals to DHB Hospitals. The list of potential hospital line items is appended to this letter as Schedule One. You have already had an opportunity to comment on the proposed tender process and community product list. We now ask for comments on the proposed hospital list. It is envisaged that the community and hospital tenders will again be run as one process. We seek comments on the approach outlined in the following pages, in particular the following: the actual or potential clinical implications of awarding Hospital Supply Status (as defined in Section H of the Pharmaceutical Schedule) to the pharmaceuticals listed in Schedule One; what the appropriate DV Limit for each product would be where a 0% DV Limit is considered clinically unacceptable; and any contractual constraints or patent protection that could mean that PHARMAC could only tender or implement the results of a tender after 31 December PHARMAC is currently consulting with DHB Hospitals, medical groups and other interested parties with respect to the proposed product list. All feedback received by the deadline will be considered by the Tender Medical Evaluation Sub-committee of PTAC prior to consideration by the PHARMAC Board. Consultation on tendering for certain pharmaceuticals In accordance with PHARMAC s objective of securing for eligible people in need of pharmaceuticals, the best health outcomes that are reasonably achievable from pharmaceutical treatment and from within the amount of funding provided, PHARMAC is consulting on tendering for Hospital Supply Status of certain pharmaceuticals listed in Schedule One of this document. Schedule One lists the Line Items for which we are consulting on tendering for supply to DHB Hospitals. Products are listed alphabetically by chemical, form and strength. The PHARMAC Board will set DV Limits once all medical feedback is received and the Tender Medical Evaluation Sub-committee of PTAC and the Hospital Pharmaceutical Advisory Committee have considered this information. Responses to consultation The closing date for responses to consultation is 5pm, 7 November R #75126
