Pharmac says it will strengthen its focus on equity for Maori and other population groups, as a result of the government's independent review.
That review, released back in June, found Pharmac had issues on accountability, decision-making, and responsibilities.
It also said the benefits the model brings needs to be shared more equitably across Maori and Pacifika.
Sarah Fitt, Pharmac’s Chief Executive, says “Part of the recommendations from the Pharmac review is that we need to focus more on achieving health equity. I think that goes right across the health sector.”
