28106 (2023). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: Does the Minister intend to require Medsafe to implement even faster approvals processes for any medicines for use in New Zealand that have already been approved by at least two regulatory bodies, as outlined in the National Party’s ‘Better Health Outcomes’ document, and if not, why not?

Hon Dr Shane Reti: I refer the Member to reply number 26157 (2023)
