Review ‘unable to verify’ NPS MedicineWise claim it saved millions
The report did, however, tell the government to make sure Australian Prescriber survived
The independent review that urged the Federal Government to defund NPS MedicineWise said the charity’s claim it had saved Medicare $100 million over five years was unconvincing based on the evidence.
But it also told Minister for Health Mark Butler to ensure the survival of Australian Prescriber, saying the monthly journal read by 100,000 doctors had “no equivalent”.
