In April 2017, NICE introduced a new fast track appraisal process that is designed to bring forward patient access to drugs where the company can demonstrate clear cost-effectiveness by around five months compared with the standard timescales.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has also published the response to the Accelerated Access Review which includes the introduction of a new Accelerated Access Pathway and £86 million of funding to support medical innovations get to patients faster. This will streamline regulatory and market access decisions, getting breakthrough products that we believe will be truly transformative to patients more quickly, and will be operational from April 2018.
