61920 (2024). Hon Dr Duncan Webb to the Associate Minister of Health: Is COVID-19 antiviral medicine fully available to eligible patients; if not is its unavailability due to funding constraints, or for some other reason?

Hon David Seymour: I am advised by Pharmac that there are no current supply issues for publicly funded COVID-19 antiviral medicines in New Zealand that would prevent eligible patients from receiving them.
