Unknown Host hosts The 'Dispatched' Podcast.
For more than a decade, Public Summary Documents have been presented as evidence of system transparency, but in fact, they are an affront to it. What was the discussion about transparency that ended with an impenetrable
An important reminder about the impact of innovation and why it matters. What does it say about Australia and our life sciences policy frameworks that locally developed innovations are commercialised in other markets, bu
The events in the US this week surrounding a former public health leader raise some important questions in Australia about the accountability of 'independent experts'. Why we can't afford to muck up the AI opportunity as
Misleading claims about patient groups and the industry, combined with an irrational hyperventilation about a rational response to new global realities, have made for an interesting week. The price reduction mantra and w
A very busy week with mostly relief for patients accessing PBS-funded multiple sclerosis medicines, but what does it really mean, and what is the opportunity? Reports and their questionable citations. The most cynical us
The MS medicines controversy continues. Why wouldn’t the minister just deal with it and make it go away? It may not be that easy. Why any resolution will probably deal with symptoms rather than the cause. The realities o
A small player with no market share and no real prospect of gaining any agreed to an almost 50 per cent price reduction to secure reimbursement. Who would have thought the market leaders would respond negatively? Discuss
Congratulations to one of Australia's leading health journalists on a highly effective series of stories and commentaries that reveal the true extent of this country's challenge and the problems patients face in accessin
Powerful patient stories stand in contrast to a decision-making framework that explicitly dehumanises their lived experience. The need for 'decency and compassion'. Week one of Senate Estimates, the challenge of saying o
There are enough measures and signals in this week's Budget to suggest medicines, vaccines and other technologies were discussed extensively in the process leading up to Tuesday's announcement. It might also help explain
In this week's episode, the focus is on the latest example of no progress on reform, the mindset and intransigence it reveals, the repeated pattern, and the early evidence that it would always end this way. Can it be an
In this special episode, the focus is on the official plan to force a 'consensus' on health technology assessment reforms through a process conducted in secrecy under the guise of ethics approval. The problem with runnin
Tokenistic characterisations of patient engagement are no substitute for listening and empowering. The risk of government funding for organisations and how it can impact what they do, primarily because the government is
Another significant speech for the health portfolio that highlights the reform challenge and the importance of choices. A review announced in 2021 without an official response, and the reform of a major program announced
An unhinged reaction to the new pharmacy prescribing initiative in New South Wales, why Australia needs to be humble in any health system comparison with the US, and given that the Government sets and umpires the rules f
Australia’s health system is overly bureaucratic, opaque, and misaligned, with reforms like the HTA Review slowing access rather than improving it. Decision-making prioritises institutional processes over patients, who r
In this week's episode, the discussion focuses on Health Minister Mark Butler's address at an event in Sydney and its invocation of history as the framework for pending negotiations over HTA reforms and PBS pricing. Also
A powerful patient story was overshadowed by a mindset that expects patients to simplify their needs and accept delays. Some proposed reforms risk entrenching these problems, while claims of having a 'world-class system'
How Australia’s health system is failing patients by prioritising process and cost control over timely access to treatment, forcing more to rely on compassionate access programs. HTA processes are slow, often dehumanisin
In this episode, we examine funding uncertainty for genomic profiling through OMICO, structural tensions within the PBS and pharmaceutical supply chain, and broader concerns about how political and financial incentives s
