The government has announced an independent review into New Zealand's drug buying agency, Pharmac. The review will look at how the agency is meeting its goals as well as equity issues for Māori and Pacific peoples. While the review will examine how the agency uses its budget, it won't look at the size of the budget. Andrew Little is the Minister of Health and he spoke to Māni Dunlop.
