Anger, f-bomb thrown around as advocates react to Pharmac's Budget 2021 boost


"Our daughter needs Spinraza to keep living, essentially," her mum Emily told Newshub. 
They were hoping for a big boost to Pharmac's billion-dollar budget but the Government just went with what they promised in the election - $200 million. 
"We're utterly, utterly devastated," Emily says. "We just realise there is no hope in New Zealand at all if you have a rare disease."
She's not the only one - 100,000 people signed Malcolm Mulholland's petition to double Pharmac's budget. 
Mulholland had a blunt response for the Finance Minister.
"F*** you, Grant Robertson."
Robertson acknowledged how hard it must be for those needing life-saving drugs.
