Show Notes
More pressure on Pharmac boss Sarah Fitt to resign.
The Board Chair has met face to face with the Senior Leadership Team today over inappropriate emails sent about journalist Rachel Smalley.
The chair instructed them to identify what can be done to prevent a situation like this from happening again.
Two cancer patients have written an open letter asking for her resignation.
Signatory Geoff Dawson says he felt like the mocking comments towards Smalley indicate a bigger problem.
"It's the culture that creates that situation, then it's a spoilt culture. As Albert Einstein once said- you can't solve a problem with the same mind that created it."
