The National Party's proposed disallowance motion is nothing but a cruel attempt to rip half-price medicines away from patients just days after it starts. Sixty-day dispensing will deliver significant savings to patients and should not be subjected to these political games.

AMA President Prof Steve Robson wrote to Min. Mark Butler earlier this year asking for the govt to implement independent advice from 2018 that patients be able to access 60-days' of certain medicines.

Today, at Parliament House, I called on the Senate to put patients first and vote against the disallowance motion on 60-day dispensing. This reform will save patients money at a time of intense cost of living pressures. It’s time to do the right thing. #60day

We're calling on the Senate to do the right thing and to ensure Australians are able to access affordable medicines.
The Coalition's moves to block the government's 60-day dispensing changes will mean patients will struggle to afford the medicines they need.
