Women with advanced breast cancer ask health select committee for PHARMAC review
13 March 2019 - Ten women today spoke one after the other, telling a committee of MPs how desperately they did not want to die of breast cancer.
The women, from all over the country and all walks of life, came together at Parliament to try to persuade parliamentarians to push for PHARMAC to fund two drugs they say will prolong the lives of breast-cancer sufferers.
They are also pushing for a review of the Government drug-buying agency, calling it outdated.
