About this listen

More convenience and savings are being offered for those on long-term treatments.

From February, people will be able to receive 12-month prescriptions.

Patients will still collect their repeats from the pharmacy but will no longer need to return to their doctor each time for a new script.

Health Minister Simeon Brown told Mike Hosking this could save patients up to $105 per year in reduced GP fees.

He says it will also free up appointment space.
