4981 (2026). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Associate Minister of Health: Further to his response to WPQ 56052 (2025), which stated that Pharmac was unable to provide separated NDA-related costs for August 2025 because its invoice system could not identify them, what activities, services, or legal work were undertaken in August 2025 in relation to the same NDA?

Hon David Seymour: I am advised by Pharmac that the subject matter of Pharmac’s request for legal advice in August 2025 is subject to professional legal privilege.
