Children, parents protest PHARMAC funding review at Parliament
14 December 2022 - A petition calling on PHARMAC to "fund lifesaving medicines for all New Zealand children" has been received at Parliament today by ACT and Te Pāti Māori.
The petition by Patient Voices Aotearoa, was launched in response to a PHARMAC decision last month to review the way children's cancer medicines are funded - specifically rule 8.1b of the Pharmaceutical Schedule.
