Jacinda Ardern defends Labour's 'perfectly reasonable' decision to veto MP led PHARMAC inquiry
7 December 2020 - Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is defending Labour's "perfectly reasonable" decision to veto a PHARMAC inquiry led by MPs on Parliament's Health Select Committee.
Members of Health Select Committee met last Thursday for the first time since the election and National Party members moved for an inquiry into unfunded medicines by the Government's drug buying agency.
Labour MPs vetoed the move sparking anger from National MPs, including leader Judith Collins who tweeted her disappointment because the Prime Minister promised a PHARMAC review during the election campaign.
