The Petition of residents of the State of Queensland draws to the attention of the House the need to have tapentadol covered under the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) as quite a few people who are prescribed it can’t easily afford it.
Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to do all in its power to persuade the federal government to consider adding the instant release version of tapentadol covered under the PBS.
