answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2017 answer text <p>We have had no such discussions. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) is responsible for determining whether its guidance should be updated following the publication of new evidence. NICE published technology appraisal guidance on the use of lumacaftor-ivacaftor (Orkambi) for the treatment of cystic fibrosis in July 2016. NICE plans to review its guidance to determine whether it should be updated in the light of any new evidence in 2019.</p><p> </p><p>If significant new evidence comes to light before the scheduled review date, NICE has processes in place to bring forward a review. NICE remains open to a further approach from the company, with new evidence or a revised price. Although there has been recent correspondence between NHS England and the company, NICE has not yet received any fresh proposals from the company.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 11/09/2017 15:54:24 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/09/2017 answer text <p>The Government’s Childhood Obesity Plan published in August 2016 challenged industry to reduce overall sugar across the products contributing most to children’s sugar intakes by at least 20% by 2020, with a 5% reduction to be achieved in the first year by August 2017. Public Health England (PHE) published our first technical report ‘Sugar reduction: Achieving the 20%’ on 30 March 2017. The report set out guidelines for industry to deliver the 20% sugar reduction in nine categories of food by 2020. The report is available here:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/604336/Sugar_reduction_achieving_the_20_.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/604336/Sugar_reduction_achieving_the_20_.pdf</a></p><p> </p><p>PHE is continuing its programme of engagement with businesses across all sectors of industry to achieve these guidelines, including members of the Food and Drink Federation and retailers with a significant focus on restaurants, takeaways and cafés. The first detailed progress report will be published in March 2018. PHE is now developing the metrics that will be used to monitor progress towards the 5% reduction that is to be achieved by August 2017.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 05/09/2017 14:13:29 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Health, with reference to the oral contribution by the former Under-Secretary of State for Health on 21 March 2017, Official Report, Column 775, what assessment he has made of the effect of the Food and Drink Federation's decision not to introduce the Government's 20 per cent optional reduction in sugar content in its members' products by 2020 on his Department's policies to tackle (a) childhood obesity and (b) childhood tooth decay.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/07/2017 answer text <p>There has been no assessment made of the effect of Food and Drink Federation members’ compliance or non-compliance in achieving the 20% reduction in sugar content of key products contributing to children’s intakes by 2020 on childhood obesity or childhood tooth decay.</p><p> </p><p>In ‘Sugar reduction: The evidence for action’, published in October 2015, Public Health England (PHE) undertook modelling work to estimate the potential health impact and wider economic benefits of achieving the average population intake recommendation for sugar. This modelling found that achieving this over a 10-year period would result in 4,100 premature deaths and 204,000 cases of dental caries being averted, resulting in a total cost saving to the National Health Service of £484 million.</p><p> </p><p>PHE encourages all businesses to achieve the reductions in sugar as set out in ‘Childhood obesity: a plan for action’.
