Prescription drug availability in Australia following the Baume Report
International Journal of Pharmaceutical Medicine 1997; 11:(1):19-22

Abstract:

The results of a substantial reorganization of the drug regulatory system in Australia affecting all aspects of drug evaluation and regulation in the pharmaceutical industry following the Report on Drug Evaluation in Australia in 1991 by Professor Peter Baume are discussed. The beneficial result has been a faster system of drug registration. Areas still in need of improvement are described.
