The Therapeutics Products and Medicines Bill has been postponed

13 August 2007

The Government is not proceeding at this stage with legislation that would have enabled the establishment of a joint agency with Australia to regulate therapeutic products.

The Therapeutics Products and Medicines Bill has been postponed, but will remain on the Order Paper to be revisited when sufficient parliamentary support is available. Further information can be found at: http://www.beehive.govt.nz/ViewDocument.aspx?DocumentID=30061
