Government urges Pharmac, Medsafe to embrace artificial intelligence

Photo: RNZ / Mark Papalii The government has urged Pharmac and Medsafe to embrace artificial intelligence (AI) to speed up the approval of new medicines. Associate Health Minister David Seymour issued a statement on Tuesday, confirming he had recently written to the agencies, and that both had replied positively. "I believe that technology absorption greatly increases productivity and see Al playing a role in a more efficient Pharmac and Medsafe," he said. "Finding efficiencies in medicine assessment processes means patients can access the treatments they need faster." In response to Seymour's letter, Medsafe group manager Chris James acknowledged that AI, in future, could help streamline medicine decisions, speed up audits, and help analyse large information sets. A small number of staff were currently taking part in a Health Ministry pilot related to Microsoft's Copilot AI tool, he said. "We are also in the early stages of broader discussions about access to other AI tools with the ability to manage larger datasets and meet our commercial and patient sensitive confidentiality requirements," James said. In her response, Pharmac chair Paula Bennett said she greatly appreciated the minister's support and encouragement around the potential of AI. "I share your views that AI presents exciting opportunities to enhance productivity, improve processes, and deliver better outcomes for New Zealanders." She said staff were already using Microsoft Copilot "enthusiastically and creatively" to improve efficiency. "Staff have begun using AI tools to assist with tasks such as processing complex information, analysing large volumes of data, and improving the clarity and accessibility of technical content," Bennett said. "These applications are already helping us work more quickly and effectively and will also have a role in supporting greater transparency in our decision-making."

The complex task of establishing fitness to stand trial
On 16 March 2020, the District Court in Auckland had its first sitting of a court dedicated exclusively to cases where issues of fitness to stand trial or insanity had been raised, and a second such court is poised to open in Gisborne in the new year. The Criminal Procedure Mentally Impaired Persons Court was co-founded by Judges Pippa Sinclair and Clare Ryan and convenes fortnightly to determine whether a criminal defendant is fit to stand trial. The court's genesis lies in the Criminal Procedure (Mentally Impaired Persons) Act of 2003, which outlines options for defendants found unfit or legally insane. These options include detention as a special patient or immediate release. The court handles cases involving defendants with severe mental health issues, such as delusions and hallucinations, and seeks to ensure they receive appropriate care and support. But the process is far from straightforward. Last year 185 people, charged with 729 offences were deemed unfit to stand trial. Judge Pippa Sinclair discusses with Kathryn Ryan.
