Abstract:
The increasing costs of health care, including new technologies and pharmaceuticals, pose challenges for all countries both in the developed and the developing world. It is essential that the increased expenditure on pharmaceuticals represents value for money and is seen as an investment in health care rather than simply the purchase of the latest released agent. The system in Australia uses a cost-effectiveness approach to guide the decisions as to whether a new drug can be recommended for subsidy.

The relevant issues are discussed in this article to assist that debate.
