<link>http://www.health.gov.au/internet/ministers/publishing.nsf/Content/mr-yr09-mb-mb044.htm?OpenDocument</link>
<description>The National Blood Authority, acting on behalf of the Rudd Government and the state and territory governments, has reached an agreement with CSL Limited to ensure the continuation of a secure supply of blood plasma products and services. The agreement will come into force on 1 January 2010 and, subject to a review in 2014, run until 31 December 2017. It means that CSL will continue as a supplier of these products and services, while meeting government requirements for improved value for money and CSL’s request for greater certainty to guide its investment decisions in Australia.</description>
