Whilst NHS England did make an estimate of the current cost of protein supplements and a potential reduction in their use if Kuvan were prescribed, this cost was not included in the analysis because commissioning responsibility for supplements rests with clinical commissioning groups and it would be unlikely that NHS England would be able to realise these savings. The cost of the potential reduction in protein supplements is also relatively modest compared to the cost of Kuvan.</p><p> </p><p>In line with its published process, the recommendations from CPAG will be considered by the Specialised Commissioning Oversight Group and the Specialised Services Commissioning Committee. A decision about whether or not Kuvan has been prioritised for funding will be published in due course.</p><p> </p><p>The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) is currently developing technology appraisal guidance for the National Health Service on the use of Kuvan for the treatment of phenylketonuria. In developing technology appraisal guidance, NICE takes into account all the health and publicly funded social care related costs and benefits associated with the treatment, potentially including any costs from NHS funded treatments that can be avoided such as food supplements. The NICE appraisal of Kuvan is now underway and NICE expects to publish final guidance next year.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine grouped question UIN 190519 question first answered 20/11/2018 15:25:36 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine

uin	190520
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/11/2018 answer text <p>Medicines and other treatments being considered for assessment by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) are considered through an established topic selection process to ensure that they are suitable for referral to NICE and that they are routed to the most appropriate process within NICE. The topic selection process includes consideration of topic against published criteria and consultation with stakeholders. Most new medicines are referred for assessment through NICE’s technology appraisal programme though NICE also operates a separate highly specialised technology evaluation programme for a small number of very high cost drugs for the treatment of very rare diseases. Following consideration through the topic selection process, NICE is currently developing guidance on two drugs for the treatment of phenylketonuria through its technology appraisal programme.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 20/11/2018 15:26:35 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
