Thanks Neil, much appreciated. I think the concern is reflected by Naive's post as it seems that there is possibly a real lack of understanding of the disease as from what I have read the rulings surrounding whether the drug is covered by the PBS seem to suggest that coverage may not be available if a patient does not appear to require the drug; so a patient starts taking the drug it works and then it is no longer covered by the PBS .... as those that understand the disease know the whole point of the drug is to effectively make it such that you don't appear to need the drug but once you stop taking the drug the disease takes hold again. If this is correct it is a real concern.
