Information Act shows racism in PHARMAC’s decision-making
17 August 2021 - Paati Māori Co-leader, Debbie Ngarewa-Packer, has received information that blatantly outlines the inequity within PHARMAC and its decision-making.
She is calling for PHARMAC to urgently address their inclusivity of Māori into their funding decisions.
An OIA shows that of the 12 prioritisation meetings since March 2019, five had no Māori representation, whilst half of the meetings have only ever had one Māori representative out of a maximum attendance of 45-people.
