At the end of last year the Department consulted on those regulations and we are currently analysing the responses to that consultation.</p><p> </p><p>The Competition and Markets Authority has provisionally found that that Concordia abused its dominant position to overcharge the National Health Service by millions for liothyronine tablets. A provisional decision does not necessarily lead to an infringement decision. Where companies have breached competition law, the Department will seek damages and invest that money back into the NHS.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 31/01/2018 16:25:09 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine

The guidance covers identification and monitoring of patients at risk; pharmacological management and referral where appropriate, and aims to ensure patients remain healthy and avoid kidney failure, if possible. The guidance can be found at the following link:</p><p> </p><p><a href="http://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/cg182" target="_blank">www.nice.org.uk/guidance/cg182</a></p><p> </p><p>The NHS Health Check is a national programme (launched in 2009) for everyone between the ages of 40-74 years (not already on a chronic disease register) that assesses people’s health and risk of developing certain health problems. At launch it was estimated that the programme could detect each year at least 20,000 cases of diabetes or kidney disease earlier, allowing individuals to be better managed and to improve their quality of life. The first major evaluation of the NHS Health Check, published in 2016 and covering 665 general practitioner practices, demonstrated positive results, estimating that over the first five years it has identified a new case of chronic kidney disease in every 265 appointments.
