Hi :) I am involved in supporting a petition to double the Pharmac medicine budget and wondered if your family might be happy to sign and promote it to your networks? A link is below, https://www.parliament.nz/en/pb/petitions/document/PET_91080/petition-of-malcolm-mulholland-for-patient-voice-aotearoa.

This is a link to a recent Facebook post - https://www.facebook.com/patientvoiceaotearoa/posts/127005762002313.

The aim of this petition is to help Kiwi's like Tracey get the medicines they need, and raise the volume on this issue ahead of the 2020 budget and next year's election. The more signatures we can get, the bigger the impact.

Warm Regards

Waverley

Hi Waverley, im also a member of PVA and work with Malcolm and the team. Thank you for sharing the petition. I have also done quite a bit of media emphasising the need to AT LEAST double the Pharmac budget.

Hi Troy, my name is Caitlin. I’m conducting a study at the University of Auckland on the use of crowdfunding platforms to fund health-related costs in New Zealand. I’m hoping to speak with people with experience of setting up and managing a Givealittle page on behalf of a loved one. I understand this will be a time of immense pressure for all involved, but I’m also aware this may be a topic close to your heart, and I believe your contribution to the project would be really valuable. If you are open to participating or would like more information, please email me confidentially at cneu868@aucklanduni.ac.nz. Participation would involve a conversational interview at a time/place convenient to you. To thank participants for their time, each will receive a $30 voucher. Thanks and best wishes. Approved by the University of Auckland Human Participants Ethics Committee on 11th June 2019 for three years, Reference Number 023136.
