Hi Kathy. I apologise, I only mentioned the matter had been raised with BCNA so it would not be re-raised.
When I discovered Yes organic products were listed on England's NHS available on script I thought why not us? Not knowing where to turn I asked if BCNA could have general discussion around it at next meeting (April?) with breast cancer medico's so medical profession were at least aware of it and they could offer their views. And if the product could be readily available in Aust. I can't remember asking if BCNA would make submissions to PBAC.
I appreciate the work BCNA did researching cost of our general prescriptions in Australia.
After quickly perusing England's NHS site they have a very generous scheme over there. Prescriptions are free for anyone over 60 so explains the cost/benefit of having these products available on script in England. It would have been nice to have had some kind of Govt subsidy here but happy to put this discussion to bed.
Once again thank you for all your hard work.
