Breast cancer drug advocate lashes out at Labour after PHARMAC inquiry blocked
10 April 2019 - An advocate for a breast cancer drug has lashed out at Labour politicians for blocking an inquiry into PHARMAC.
On Wednesday morning, National's Health spokesperson Michael Woodhouse presented a motion to have the Health Select Committee launch an inquiry into the drug-buying agency.
It followed heavy criticism of PHARMAC's processes from breast cancer sufferers wanting the agency to fund life-extending drugs like Ibrance and Kadcyla.
