ACT would ensure an independent review of PHARMAC

ACT New Zealand

30 September 2020 - “ACT will seek an independent review of PHARMAC’s operating model to allow for greater transparency and more timeliness in decision making,” says ACT Leader David Seymour.

“The decisions made by PHARMAC can mean life or death. Having access to the right medicines can make the difference in someone’s quality of life, whether they experience chronic pain or whether they’re able to work. We have to get this right.

“The PHARMAC model and operating framework was set up 27 years ago and there have been no material changes to it since then.
