28201 (2026). Debbie Ngarewa-Packer to the Associate Minister of Health: Further to WPQ 20216, has the Minister requested that Pharmac undertake Māori-specific modelling on access, complications, and unmet need before implementing any change, and if not, why not?

Hon David Seymour: I have not requested any modelling. Assessment scoping decisions are operational matters for Pharmac.
