Hon ANDREW LITTLE (Minister of Health): Yesterday, the final report of the independent review of Pharmac was released and I announced the Government's response to it. Our drug-buying system was set up nearly three decades ago and has delivered good benefits to New Zealanders. However, in the face of complaints about aspects of the decision-making approaches, it was appropriate to review the agency. I confirm that the Government has accepted most of the 33 recommended actions made by the independent panel, either in whole or in part.
