However, we are committed to working with industry on this issue and share the ambition to maximise the appropriate use of innovation in our system and tackle unwarranted variation in uptake. The Government and industry are currently working together through a series of workshops that will provide the foundation for the next medicines pricing scheme, and discussions around uptake, adoption and metrics have been a feature of those early meetings.</p><p> </p><p>The recent Government and partner bodies response to the Accelerated Access Review sets out how we will work with industry and the health system to create a streamlined and sophisticated approvals system so that cost-effective breakthrough products – be they drugs, devices, digital or diagnostics – can get into the National Health Service as fast as possible.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 24/01/2018 11:57:48 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
