question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the effect of the Government’s decision to not support the World Health Assembly's resolution on greater transparency for drug pricing on the affordability of medicines in the UK.
tabling member constituency	Bristol East
tabling member printed	Kerry McCarthy
uin	259098
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/06/2019 answer text <p>The United Kingdom participates in various transparency initiatives, including the European Integrated Price Information Database, the World Health Organization’s Pharmaceutical Pricing Reimbursement Information Network, and the Global Fund Price and Quality Database. However, the UK has a long-established and globally-recognised track record of assessing the price of new, innovative medicines according to their clinical value, rather than pricing by their development costs or international reference prices. We believe that is the right approach: ensuring the development of the best medicines in areas of high unmet need are rewarded. The Government could not, therefore, agree to a resolution which had the potential to increase medicines prices and reduce patient access, by reducing the ability of the NHS to undertake commercial negotiations with pharmaceutical companies on the price of new medicines. The approach taken by the National Health Service has meant we were the first country in Europe to offer innovative CAR-T therapies, alongside many other new medicines.</p> answering member constituency South Ribble answering member printed Seema Kennedy question first answered 06/06/2019 15:58:52 answering member 4455 label Biography information for Seema Kennedy
