answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/05/2024 answer text <p>The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) makes recommendations for the National Health Service on whether new licensed medicines, and significant licence extensions for existing medicines, should be routinely funded by the NHS. The NICE is able to recommend most new medicines for use by the NHS, including as a result of commercial agreements negotiated between NHS England and the company, in line with the commercial framework for new medicines.</p><p>The NICE develops its guidance in line with its published health technology evaluations manual, which sets out the circumstances in which its Appraisal Committees are able to apply flexibility in the evaluation of specific treatments. The NICE is, for example, able to apply a modifier in the evaluation of medicines for severe diseases that means that its committees are able to recommend medicines at a higher cost-effectiveness threshold than for less severe diseases. The NICE appraises combination therapies using the same methods that it uses for appraising single drug therapies.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 23/05/2024 16:08:56 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) is the body that develops authoritative, evidence-based guidance for the National Health Service on whether new licensed medicines should be routinely funded by the NHS, based on an assessment of their costs and benefits, including medicines for myeloma. The NICE aims to publish guidance on all new medicines close to the point of licensing wherever possible, and has recommended many cancer medicines for NHS use that are now available to NHS patients, including through the Cancer Drugs Fund.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 13/05/2024 08:43:01 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/05/2024 answer text <p>The Department regularly meets with colleagues in the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) to discuss a range of issues, including in relation to the NICE’s methods for the evaluation of medicines. In 2022, the NICE introduced a number of changes to make its methods and processes fairer, faster, and more consistent. This includes the introduction of a broader severity modifier, in place of the end-of-life modifier. Since the changes were introduced, 79% of the NICE’s appraisals of cancer medicines carried out under the updated methods have recommended the use of the treatment for some or all of the eligible patient population, either for routine use or use through the Cancer Drugs Fund. The approval rate for all cancer appraisals carried out since 2009, when the end-of-life modifier was introduced, is 78%.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 13/05/2024 08:48:27 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson

It is widely acknowledged that many victims of sexual assault will have also experienced domestic abuse.</p><p>For cases of non-fatal strangulation not associated with sexual assault, victims’ immediate healthcare needs can be treated in other acute healthcare settings such as emergency departments. The Institute for Addressing Strangulation recently published guidelines for clinical management of non-fatal strangulation in acute and emergency care services.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 28/03/2024 14:33:37 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield
