ACKNOWLEDGING that many Australians are unaware of the processes involved in bringing new medicines to Australia, Pharmaceutical research giant GSK and ViiV have joined to create a new report intended to "pull back the curtain" on the PBS.

Belcher added that the conflicting pressures on government budgets need to be understood, and to maintain universal access, the healthcare system must evolve with the population, environmental changes and medical innovations.
