The Finance Minister promises there's been no change of mind when it comes to delivering on the promised cancer drugs. 

The Government campaigned on spending about $280 million on 13 treatments, but the drugs weren't funded in last week's Budget.

Nicola Willis says the Government will deliver on this commitment very soon. 

"What we've had is a commitment to New Zealanders that we would fund those 13 cancer treatment drugs, and we are going to deliver on the commitment."
