The Institute of Cancer Research’s report analyses the timescales for the introduction of cancer drugs that received a licence from the European Medicines Agency between 2000 and 2016.

Since the new arrangements were introduced, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has recommended 75% of new cancer medicines for use in the NHS compared with 47% in 2012/13 and the forecasted mean time from a new cancer drug receiving its licence to published final NICE guidance in 2020/21 is now 1.5 months.</p> answering member printed Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford question first answered 05/02/2020 16:25:22 answering member 4019 label Biography information for Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford
