PHARMAC is seeking feedback on a proposal to list medical devices supplied by Protec Solutions Limited ('Protec') in Part III of Section H of the Pharmaceutical Schedule from 1 December 2020.
We propose to list medical devices supplied by Protec in the following category: Surgical drapes, gowns and procedure packs
Consultation closes at 4pm Friday 23 October 2020 and feedback can be emailed to ruben.kunst-sopacua@pharmac.govt.nz.
What would the effect be
From 1 December 2020, Protec's ranges of medical devices in the category listed above would be listed under a national agreement for all DHBs to purchase under, subject to consultation and approval by PHARMAC's Board or delegate ('Agreement').
The Agreement would not be for sole supply, with DHBs continuing to be able to purchase other suppliers' brands of surgical drapes, gowns and procedure packs.
The Agreement would supersede any existing DHB contracts with Protec for the medical devices included in the Agreement. Any device listed in the PHARMAC Agreement and purchased by a DHB would be at the price, terms and conditions stated in the Agreement, effective from the date of listing on the Pharmaceutical Schedule.
As part of the Agreement, Protec would provide appropriate training and education services that would be tailored to the needs of the individuals DHBs, in formats and at times as required by DHBs.
Pricing for the medical devices in the Agreement, subject to any prior termination of the Agreement, would not be increased without prior consultation and approval by PHARMAC.
