"The evidence is clear.' That's the word from outgoing Pharmac director Dr Anthony Jordan, who has quit the drug buying agency following a direction from Associate Health Minister David Seymour this week to stop factoring Te Tiriti o Waitangi into its decisions. Speaking to RNZ reporter Tu Natanahira this afternoon, Dr Jordan said he received the Government's letter of intent earlier this week.
