Hon ANDREW LITTLE (Minister of Health): I thank the member for the question. Pharmac, as many people have seen, has been a very good model for medicines procurement. It does all the procurement for all our DHBs. It now procures over a billion dollars a year in medicines for New Zealanders. Those medicines are provided to—I think the last figure I saw was 3.7 million New Zealanders; a lot of New Zealanders getting a lot of medicines. But there have been, I think, justified criticisms about the speed with which Pharmac sometimes makes its decisions, particularly with new medical technologies. So we have commissioned a review of Pharmac and its decision making. Pharmac is required to work within the budget that it gives. That is what it says in its statute: that it must work within its budget. That budget is set independently of Pharmac, as you would expect. It is the Government of the day that sets the Pharmac budget, but Pharmac has to work within it and make the best decisions that it can.
