Patient Voice Aotearoa spokesperson Malcolm Mulholland said they want Pharmac s budget doubled immediately, and tripled within two years to $3 billion. New Zealanders only had 33 percent of Australia s medicine budget per capita and patients were dying because of lack of access to drugs, Mulholland said. Pharmac s chief executive Sarah Fitt said they would always have more medicines they wanted to fund and that means sometimes they had to make difficult choices.
