Government announces review into PHARMAC

New Zealand Government

2 March 2021 - The Government is following through on an election promise to conduct an independent review into PHARMAC, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and Health Minister Andrew Little announced today.

The Review will focus on two areas:

  • How well PHARMAC performs against its current objectives and whether and how its performance against these could be improved.
  • Whether PHARMAC’s current objectives maximise its potential to improve health outcomes for all New Zealanders as part of the wider health system, and whether and how these objectives should be changed.
