answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/05/2018 answer text <p>The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) published guidance recommending ibrutinib for use in the treatment of previously treated chronic lymphocytic leukaemia and previously untreated chronic lymphocytic leukaemia with 17p deletion or TP53 mutation in January 2017. NHS England is legally required to fund drugs and treatments recommended in NICE technology appraisal guidance in line with NICE’s recommendations.</p><p> </p><p>NICE has not been able to make a recommendation on the use of ibrutinib for use in the treatment of other patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia because no evidence submission was received from the product’s manufacturer. Ibrutinib is not therefore routinely commissioned for National Health Service patients for these other indications. NICE will review this decision if the company decides to make an evidence submission.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine grouped question UIN 144154 question first answered 21/05/2018 15:59:46 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/05/2018 answer text <p>Early diagnosis of blood cancers is difficult as symptoms, such as tiredness or back pain, are often misdiagnosed. For suspected blood cancers, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence published a revised guideline in 2015 which clearly sets out that general practitioners should consider a very urgent full blood count within 48 hours to assess for leukaemia if adults present with suspicious symptoms.</p><p> </p><p>In December 2016 NHS England announced transformation funding of £200 million for Cancer Alliances to encourage new and innovative ways to diagnose cancer earlier, improve the care for those living with cancer and ensure that each cancer patient gets the right care for them.</p><p> </p><p>Additionally, the Accelerate, Coordinate and Evaluate Programme is a unique early diagnosis initiative, a programme of 60 projects exploring innovative concepts of diagnosing cancer earlier across England. The programme is testing a new multi-disciplinary diagnostic centre approach to diagnosing patients with vague or unclear but concerning symptoms, often characteristic of hard to diagnose cancers like blood cancers.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 14/05/2018 11:23:24 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
