Synopsis of publication:

In early 1993 the Public Health Committee (PHC) of the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) asked the Drugs and Poisons Schedule Standing Committee (DPSSC) to investigate whether there was a need to reschedule beta-2 agonist inhalers. At the time, beta-2 agonist inhalers were scheduled on S3 and available for purchase at pharmacies under a pharmacistâs supervision. The DPSSC recommended that beta-2 agonist inhalers should be rescheduled to S4 so that they would only be available with a prescription from a medical practitioner.

In September 1993, the PHC Executive agreed to the establishment of a joint Public Health Committee and Health Care Committee Working Party on Asthma, to review scientific and statistical information and make recommendations on optimum asthma management procedures and their widest possible implementation.

In 1994, as a result of the Bienenstock Review, the Public Health Committee and the Health Care Committee of the NHMRC were amalgamated to form a new principal advisory committee on health policy known as the National Health Advisory Committee (NHAC). From this time on, the Working Party on Asthma operated under the auspices of NHAC.
