New PHARMAC drug funding approved but some New Zealanders still missing out
8 October 2019 - A Motueka woman living with multiple sclerosis is vowing to fight for access to a drug now funded for some sufferers.
Ocrevus is being offered by PHARMAC for those in the early stages of multiple sclerosis.
Lesley Jackson doesn't qualify - and is furious.
"How can you turn around and say to someone, well there is this drug you could have but because you can't walk 500 metres unaided, you can't have it. It's devastating."
