Cancer campaign coverage puts heat on PHARMAC

Radio New Zealand

7 July 2019 - The pressure’s on for consistent cancer care around the country. 

Experts say that will take more than just more money for medicines but that’s become the focus of much of the coverage and comment in the media.

Even before the first episode screened, TVNZ’s new show How Not to Get Cancer annoyed Troy Elliott, whose wife Tracey has stage four breast cancer.

He told RNZ’s First Up many people had boycotted it because the show's title was "offensive" to cancer sufferers.
