Associate Health Minister David Seymour David Seymour has sent Pharmac chair Paula Bennett a letter of expectation, calling for Te Tiriti o Waitangi to stop being embedded in its drug-buying decisions.
It’s one of a set of “clear expectations” for the Pharmaceutical agency to follow, including asking for an outline of how the drug-buying agency will support the government’s health policies.
In the letter, Seymour believed that embedding Te Tiriti o Waitangi across the health sector was not an appropriate expectation to place on Pharmac.
