question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government why Avastin is not routinely made available on the NHS for certain groups of cancer patients.
tabling member printed	Lord Willis of Knaresborough
uin	HL66
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/10/2019 answer text <p>Most new medicines are assessed by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) which makes recommendations for the National Health Service on whether they represent a clinically and cost effective use of NHS resources. Since 2016, NICE makes recommendations for the NHS on all new licensed cancer medicines through its technology appraisal programme. NHS commissioners are legally required to fund treatments recommended in NICE technology appraisal guidance.</p><p>NICE has appraised Avastin (bevacizumab) for use in the treatment of a number of different types of cancer and has unfortunately not been able to recommend it as a clinically and cost effective use of NHS resources for any type of cancer at the price offered by the drug company. Avastin is not therefore routinely funded by the NHS for any licensed indication.</p><p>Avastin is funded as an off-label treatment for some types of cancer through the Cancer Drugs Fund.</p> answering member printed Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford question first answered 25/10/2019 11:56:13 answering member 4019 label Biography information for Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford

tabling member printed	Lord Willis of Knaresborough
uin	HL68
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/10/2019 answer text <p>To extend the indication of Avastin, the Marketing Authorisation Holder (Roche Registration GmbH) would need to submit the results of relevant clinical trials and other information to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) to demonstrate acceptable safety and efficacy and a positive balance of benefit to risk. At present, as Avastin has a European Community Marketing Authorisation, a national submission to the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency to extend the indication is not possible.</p><p>There has not been any recent positive opinion from the EMA for a new indication of Avastin to be submitted to the European Commission and the EMA has not published any pending extension of indication applications.</p> answering member printed Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford question first answered 25/10/2019 12:11:29 answering member 4019 label Biography information for Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, if Avastin is approved for safe use, whether it could be privately purchased for use by a patient being treated on the NHS.

uin	HL69
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/10/2019 answer text <p>For patients receiving private and National Health Service care for the same condition, NHS and private treatment can be supervised by one healthcare team. However, patients cannot choose to mix different parts of the same treatment between NHS and private care.</p><p>For example, a patient cannot have a cataract operation on the NHS and pay privately for special lens implants that are normally only available as part of private care.</p><p>Instead, a patient either has both the operation on the NHS and standard NHS lens implants or pay for both the operation and implants privately.</p> answering member printed Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford question first answered 28/10/2019 12:58:25 answering member 4019 label Biography information for Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford
