The National Party Member's Bill Series: Dr Shane Reti - Episode 1
In the first video chapter focusing on National Member’s Bills, Dr Reti discusses his bill with Andrew, a cancer patient with a short time to live who would be better able to choose the medicine his cancer team recommends if the bill gets supported by Members of Parliament. Currently, cancer medicines not funded by Pharmac may only be administered privately, at the patient’s expense, even after they have already paid tens of thousands buying the drug. Contact your local MP to help Andrew – and others like him – get the support he needs.
NOTE: Restriction on Crown Funding Agreements and Unfunded Cancer Medicines Amendment Bill.
