What the PBS pays

$83M in government benefit over 2024–25, across 69,694 services.

This is spend on the medicines considered for this condition, not spend on the disease. A medicine used for several conditions is counted in full under each, so figures across conditions add to more than national PBS expenditure.

MedicineGovernment benefit
obinutuzumab $57.6M
rituximab $23.9M
idelalisib $1.3M

NICE, in England and Wales, has appraised 13 technologies for this condition, recommending 6 and declining 3. A different committee, a different population and a different price: this is what has been looked at there, not a verdict on what happened here.

Conditions are classified by a language model from the indication text of each submission, so an individual label here can be wrong. Consumer input is read from the document's own consumer comments section: 7 of 11 decisions since 2014 carried some. Silence means no comment reached the committee through that facility, not that nobody was affected. More on how this was built.
