Why we held this consultation

We held a 60-day online nomination process with members of the pediatric medical and pharmacist community to identify drugs that could be considered for the priority list. An external group of pediatric experts appointed by us considered the feedback when drafting an initial list for further consideration.

We then consulted with people in Canada on the proposed list. The consultation was open for 60 days.
