HEALTH minister Sussan Ley is encouraging consumers to "go online to check the savings they will make" under the 01 Oct cycle of PBS price disclosure reductions.
In a statement issued yesterday Ley confirmed more than 2,000 medications would be affected by the changes (PD 05 Sep).
"An online spreadsheet of savings will list the medicines and their price reductions, which are up to $20 per medicine per script, in some cases," she enthused.
Ley said the price cuts would save taxpayers $900m over four years and help subsidise new medicines.
