The Call for Evidence will look at whether there is merit in introducing additional measures, including whether the Small Business Commissioner should have a greater role in the Code’s administration.</p> answering member constituency Rochester and Strood answering member printed Kelly Tolhurst question first answered 16/10/2018 16:21:42 answering member 4487 label Biography information for Kelly Tolhurst

Further information is attached.</p><p>NHS England does not calculate best value. Best value is as defined within the commissioning framework and decisions about which product to use are made first on the basis of clinical judgement for individual patients and secondly on the basis of the overall value proposition offered by individual medicines. If more than one treatment is suitable, the best value biological medicine, including biosimilars, should be chosen taking into account transparently costed device training, any patient support programs offered by manufacturers, administration costs, dosage and price per dose.</p><p>The medicines are all licensed and therefore have been demonstrated to be safe and effective by the regulatory authorities.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 16/10/2018 16:35:25 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine attachment 1 file name PQ178258 attachment.docx title Hospital Medicines Optimisation
