answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/05/2019 answer text <p>The appropriate assessment route for Kuvan (sapropterin) for the treatment of phenylketonuria has recently been reconsidered through the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) topic selection process to take into account additional evidence presented by the company and other stakeholders, during which time NICE’s appraisal of Kuvan was paused. That process has now concluded and the topic selection decision making group has determined that Kuvan should continue to be assessed through the technology appraisal process. NICE will now schedule the topic back into the work programme as quickly as possible to allow for development of guidance without additional undue delay.</p> answering member constituency South Ribble answering member printed Seema Kennedy question first answered 03/05/2019 13:14:03 answering member 4455 label Biography information for Seema Kennedy
