The government and the Green Party have struck a deal on regulating natural health products.

A discussion paper outlining a regulatory regime has been released and proposes having a new stand alone system that would ensure natural health products are safe and true to label.

The move effectively kills attempts to have a joint trans-Tasman regulatory regime which was attempted under the last Labour government .

Green MP Sue Kedgley says it's important New Zealand retains control over regulation of natural health products.
