Submission to Pharmac's review proposal to phase out funding of food thickeners

28 Mar 2023

Rare Disorders NZ has made a submission to Pharmac’s review proposal to phase out funding of food thickeners.

Rare Disorders NZ is extremely disappointed with Pharmac’s proposal to phase out funding of food thickeners.

Rare Disorders NZ proposes that Pharmac does not phase out food thickeners but widen access to include other causes of dysphagia and rare disorders such as Head and Neck cancer.
