Illustration for Medicines Act 1981

You are looking at a law that talks about how the Medicines Act 1981 works with the Hazardous Substances and New Organisms Act 1996. This law says that the Medicines Act 1981 does not change or affect the Hazardous Substances and New Organisms Act 1996. If there is a problem between what these two laws say, the Medicines Act 1981 is more important when it comes to medicines that are also hazardous substances, as defined in the Hazardous Substances and New Organisms Act 1996, which you can find at https://legislation.govt.nz/act/public/1986/0120/latest/link.aspx?id=DLM381221.
