This 2012 instrument simply wipes that 2009 rule off the books, meaning it no longer has any legal effect.\n\n**Who it affects:** Pharmaceutical companies, pharmacies, and government officials who manage PBS medicine pricing.\n\n**Why it matters:** It performs a housekeeping function, removing outdated pricing rules that were likely replaced by newer arrangements or became unnecessary. It does not create new rules — it only removes an old one."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/national-health-revocation-instrument-2012-no-1-no-pb-55-of-2012","history":"/api/acts/national-health-revocation-instrument-2012-no-1-no-pb-55-of-2012/history","analysis":"/api/acts/national-health-revocation-instrument-2012-no-1-no-pb-55-of-2012/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/national-health-revocation-instrument-2012-no-1-no-pb-55-of-2012/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/national-health-revocation-instrument-2012-no-1-no-pb-55-of-2012/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/national-health-revocation-instrument-2012-no-1-no-pb-55-of-2012/documents"}}
