Just a quick update on the coffin. On Thursday I wrote how it was likely to be held in storage and then destroyed along with all the signatures and messages on it which I felt was truely sad but sadly reflective of the government’s attitude and Pharmac’s model.
So I was really pleased to hear that Michael Woodhouse formally received the coffin and he says “It now has pride of place in my parliament office.”
Thank you Michael, Millie and I and all the people we met on the way who shared their time and stories really appreciate you respecting our collective commitment and suffering. We’re glad you’re not letting it be brushed under the carpet.
We look forward to meeting you next week.
Kia mihi.
