Anger, f-bomb thrown around as advocates react to Pharmac's Budget 2021 boost

Our daughter needs Spinraza to keep living, essentially, her mum Emily told Newshub.
They were hoping for a big boost to Pharmac s billion-dollar budget but the Government just went with what they promised in the election - $200 million.
We re utterly, utterly devastated, Emily says. We just realise there is no hope in New Zealand at all if you have a rare disease.
She s not the only one - 100,000 people signed Malcolm Mulholland s petition to double Pharmac s budget.
Mulholland had a blunt response for the Finance Minister.
F you, Grant Robertson.
Robertson acknowledged how hard it must be for those needing life-saving drugs. ....

More funding needed to manage bowel screening, doctors say

JOHN KIRK-ANDERSON/STUFF
Canterbury health workers have celebrated the launch of the region s free bowel screening programme - part of a national effort to reduce bowel cancer deaths.
Some southern doctors have welcomed extra funding for the bowel cancer screening, but say it needs to come with extra funding to deliver the services that go along with it.
The Government has announced that $13 million will be set aside in the 2021 Budget to complete the rollout of the National Bowel Screening Programme to the remaining six district health boards.
The doctors supported more screening but warned that the programme wasn’t fully developed yet and that it shouldn t be offered at the expense of patients who were struggling to get onto colonoscopy waiting lists. ....

Despite a public apology and promises to do better, it’s still better to live in Dunedin than Invercargill when it comes to colonoscopies. David Williams reports
On its face, the Southern District Health Board is improving its much-maligned colonoscopy service.
Demand for the procedure, the primary method for diagnosing bowel cancer in a timely way, has increased since the national screening programme started. Southern DHB joined in April 2018 – controversially, as it turns out, with three external reviews painting a terrible picture of delays and wrongful rejections of colonoscopy referrals which, in some cases, led to people dying of cancer before they should have. ....

Corners cut in national bowel screening programme, doctor says

A scathing article in the
New Zealand Medical Journal a fortnight ago accused the Ministry of Health of allowing the DHB into the national bowel screening programme before it was ready.
Its authors, Professor Brian Cox and Dr Phil Bagshaw, claimed lives had been lost or shortened as a result of Southern DHB being unable to meet the existing need for colonoscopies when it joined the programme in 2018.
They said patients on the programme got priority over those already suffering cancer symptoms.
The pair now want a public inquiry, similar to that of the Cartwright Inquiry in the late 1980s. ....

SDHB still a swirl of progress and setbacks

The wait list to see a radiation oncologist has reached 157, the highest it has ever been and more than twice the board’s ideal wait list. The worst in the country.
In the first quarter of this year fewer than half the patients referred as urgent because of high suspicion of cancer received their first treatment within 62 days, as they should have according to the Health Ministry.
Access to scans is a large part of the problem and how hearts must sink with the report that a business case for a new, additional MRI scanner is expected – in December.
New board chairman Pete Hodgson is emerging as a flinty hand at the tiller (to the extent that this could be said of any health board chair) and his reaction plain impatience: this was intolerable, and if it’s evident a second MRI machine is needed “then buy the thing’’. ....
