Calls to sack PHARMAC boss after 'sick, sneering' remarks
8 October 2023 - A top cancer specialist says PHARMAC chief executive Sarah Fitt should step down over “offensive” emails, as she is “unfit to manage an organisation that has control over the lives and wellbeing of thousands of New Zealanders.”
Ruth Spearing, haematologist and trustee of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia Advocates, has called on Health Minister Ayesha Verrall, State Services Commissioner Peter Hughes and PHARMAC chairperson Steve Maharey to demand Fitt’s resignation.
