Calls for government to deliver promise to back unfunded blood cancer medicine

There are calls for the government to settle an unpaid debt, a promise made by National to blood cancer sufferers, desperate for access to drugs not funded in Aotearoa. On the election campaign, National pledged to fund a list of medications for solid cancer tumours. It was forced to make good on that, following public backlash over a lack of action. But it had also given assurances about closing the medicine gap for blood cancer patients too, yet two years on they're still dying for it to deliver.
