PHARMAC funding: how it works - and the changes its critics want
6 May 2019 - PHARMAC will again be thrust into the spotlight tomorrow when New Zealanders rally at Parliament calling for a whole slew of new drugs to be funded.
PHARMAC is at the centre of a storm. There are the sufferers, their families and support groups who say the medicines they want funding for could cure or prolong lives.
It's a powerful argument - and eight petitions are before the Government covering a large number of new and emerging medicines which people want to be funded.
