Labour MP rejects claims she said Health Minister nixed PHARMAC inquiry
11 April 2019 - Labour MP health select committee chair Louisa Wall is rejecting claims she told the husband of a cancer sufferer the health minister had blocked an inquiry into drug-buyer PHARMAC.
The Labour-controlled health select committee voted yesterday against holding a review of the agency, leaving a group of breast cancer patients bitterly disappointed.
Parliament's health select committee has also been considering a petition from patients seeking funding for new drugs for advanced breast cancer.
