Pattern pbs.benefit-type.content

Defined in PBS XML Schema grammar.

Content for the benefit-type element.

This pattern may contain:

All of the following, in any order:

pbs:member-of-list
The list of prescriber types.

Optionally:

pbs:restriction-references-list
Restrictions for the prescribing of the medicine. At least one restriction is required for restricted, streamlined and authority-required restriction levels. A restriction may include a more precise specification of the prescriber. Prescribing texts (notes and cautions) are included either directly in the prescribing rule or in the restriction. NB. when the benefit-type is used in an increase, these are "rules" that guide the authorisation of the increase rather than "restrictions". The history of changes to restrictions (and therefore also Streamlined Authority Codes) are retained for 12 months.
pbs:effective
The date when this benefit-type became effective.

Optionally:

pbs:non-effective
The date when this benefit-type became non-effective.
pbs.forward-compatibility
For future extension.
