answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/05/2019 answer text <p>Discussions about managed access agreements for technologies undergoing assessment by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) are rightly held between NHS England as an independent body and the manufacturer concerned. Departmental officials play no role in such discussions, but are in regular contact with NICE and NHS England colleagues about a range of issues, including progress in discussions about a potential managed access agreement for Spinraza (nusinersen) for the treatment of spinal muscular atrophy. Ministers have also held meetings with Biogen, NICE and NHS England on a number of occasions, at which the availability of Spinraza was discussed.</p><p> </p><p>NHS England and NICE have made stakeholders and the public aware of the outcome of its appraisal committee meeting of 8 May and NICE is now able to recommend the use of Spinraza for NHS patients in England, subject to a managed access agreement agreed between NHS England and Biogen which makes Spinraza available to children with the most severe form of spinal muscular atrophy available with immediate effect. NICE’s Appraisal Committee’s considerations and recommendations will be contained in the final appraisal document which will be published in due course, with final guidance expected in June 2019.</p> answering member constituency South Ribble answering member printed Seema Kennedy grouped question UIN 256254 question first answered 29/05/2019 10:38:01 answering member 4455 label Biography information for Seema Kennedy
