What the PBS pays

$22M in government benefit over 2024–25, across 37,974 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.

teduglutide $13.1M
amino acid synthetic formula supplemented with long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids and medium chain triglycerides $9.1M

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: 3 of 4 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.
