Epilepsy sufferer says victims of PHARMAC drug switch should be compensated
19 November 2019 - An epilepsy sufferer who urged others to boycott the Government's change in anti-epileptic drug medication is seeking answers following a spate of deadly seizures.
Judy Lawrence is calling for victims to be compensated and health executives to be held accountable after PHARMAC last week backed down on its controversial drug brand switch.
The Feilding woman has laid complaints with Health Minister David Clark and the Health Quality and Safety Commission New Zealand, saying families of the deceased and injured deserve compensation for damages and emotional harm.
