uin	45745
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/09/2022 answer text <p>The Government has decided not to procure Evusheld for prevention through emergency routes at this time. This is a decision based on independent clinical advice by the multi-agency initiative, RAPID C-19 and a national expert policy working group in the National Health Service. These groups considered a range of evidence, including clinical trial data, in vitro analysis and emerging observational studies and concluded there is currently insufficient evidence of benefit to recommend deployment. The United Kingdom Chief Medical Officers are content that the correct process for providing clinical advice has been followed and agree that this should now be referred to the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence for further evaluation.</p><p>The Department wrote to patient groups on 5 September 2022 with information on this decision and evidence considered. The letter summarised the evidence considered by RAPID C-19 which contributed to the decision not to procure and deploy Evusheld and detailed the next steps the Government will take. The Department intends to publish further details of the clinical advice received shortly.</p> answering member constituency Erewash answering member printed Maggie Throup question first answered 07/09/2022 15:02:39 answering member 4447 label Biography information for Maggie Throup
