Manatū Hauora | Minister of Health
Associate Health Minister with responsibility for Pharmac David Seymour, and Health Minister Simeon Brown welcome Pharmac’s decision to fund or widen access to three treatments, including for skin cancer, from 1 June 2025.
“Pharmac operates independently, but it must work within the budget constraints set by the government,” Mr Seymour says.
“Today represents another step forward for cancer patients as the $604 million uplift from the government continues to facilitate access to new treatments.
“Pharmac continues to show what it is capable of when given the support it needs.
