> Government agency Pharmac’s chief executive has been heavily criticised by the Health Minister, her own board chair and the Public Service Commissioner for “unacceptable” and “unprofessional” comments about journalist **Rachel Smalley** and her campaigning efforts to reform the drug-funding entity.

> Disdain for Smalley has been revealed in internal Pharmac emails, with CEO **Sarah Fitt** saying she has “not much of a following”; a senior staff member describing a “nauseating” interview, and a staff member saying she’s “gunna be out of a job” with the closure of Today FM.
