	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/12/2018 answer text <p>The Government recognises the critical role that post offices play in communities and for small businesses across the UK. This is why the Government committed to safeguard the post office network and protect existing rural services. The overall number of post offices across the UK remains at its most stable in decades with over 11,500 branches thanks to significant Government investment of over £2 billion since 2010.</p><p> </p><p>While the Government sets the strategic direction for the Post Office, it allows the company the commercial freedom to deliver this strategy as an independent business. Franchising is an operational matter for the Post Office. I have therefore asked Paula Vennells, the Group Chief Executive of Post Office Limited, to write to the hon Member on this matter. A copy of her reply will be placed in the libraries of the House.</p> answering member constituency Rochester and Strood answering member printed Kelly Tolhurst question first answered 14/12/2018 09:42:58 answering member 4487 label Biography information for Kelly Tolhurst

	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
