NHS organisations are legally required to make funding available for NICE recommended treatments, usually within three months of final guidance.</p><p>Wherever possible, NICE currently aims to publish recommendations on new drugs as soon as possible after licensing, with draft guidance on cancer drugs published in advance of licensing. The 2019 Voluntary Scheme for Branded Medicines Pricing and Access includes a commitment to faster NICE assessments of new medicines, with timelines for non-cancer drugs to match those for cancer drugs, subject to the evidence base for the product being sufficiently developed.</p> answering member constituency South Ribble answering member printed Seema Kennedy question first answered 21/05/2019 10:58:38 answering member 4455 label Biography information for Seema Kennedy

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/05/2019 answer text <p>No assessment has been made on the prevalence of National Health Service treatment for back pain. In the instance that back pain continues, or is caused by a pre-existing medical condition, treatment will be provided in line with the existing guidance. The vast majority of people are successfully managed by their general practitioner (GP) or via community services.</p><p>The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidance ‘Low back pain and sciatica in over 16s: assessment and management’, published in 2016 set out evidence based best practice in the management of the condition. The guidance includes advice on pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches to care. The guidance can be viewed at the following link:</p><p><a href="http://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng59" target="_blank">www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng59</a></p><p>As set out in the NHS Long Term Plan, musculoskeletal conditions are responsible for a substantial amount of poor health, and NHS England has committed to expand on work already undertaken to ensure patients will have direct access to musculoskeletal first contact practitioners (FCPs). 98% of sustainability and transformation partnerships have confirmed pilot sites for FCPs and 55% of pilots are already underway. This will expand the number of physiotherapists working in primary care networks, enabling people to see the right professional first time, without needing a GP referral.</p> answering member constituency South Ribble answering member printed Seema Kennedy question first answered 21/05/2019 10:42:28 answering member 4455 label Biography information for Seema Kennedy
