Subject: Official Information Act request - Availability and funding of WHO Essential Medicines

Dear Pharmaceutical Management Agency,

I have two questions regarding Pharmac's availability and funding of medicines listed on the World Health Organisation's Model Lists of Essential Medicines (WHO-EM).

1) Are there any medicines listed on the WHO-EM that are not listed on the Pharmaceutical Schedule?

2) Approximately how much (as a number and as a percentage) of the Combined Pharmaceutical Budget is spent on funding medicines listed on the WHO-EM?

Yours faithfully,

Laydan Mortensen
