	question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the recommendation from NICE that modulator therapies used to treat cystic fibrosis should no longer be funded on the NHS, when she plans to make a decision on this matter: and what steps her Department is taking to ensure that life-saving treatment is made available for children with cystic fibrosis.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/11/2023 answer text <p>The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) is the independent body that makes evidence-based recommendations for the National Health Service on whether medicines should be routinely funded by the NHS based on an assessment of their costs and benefits. NICE ensures that the price that the NHS pays for medicines represents value and it recommends the vast majority of medicines for use on the NHS, often as a result of commercial arrangements proposed during the NICE evaluation process. The NHS is legally required to fund medicines recommended by NICE.</p><p>Since 2019, NHS patients have been able to access Orkambi, Symkevi and Kaftrio through an interim access agreement between NHS England, the company (Vertex), NICE, and the UK Cystic Fibrosis Trust. The agreement makes the medicines available for a limited time at a reduced price, while further information has been collected to inform a NICE appraisal. On 15 November 2023, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency approved a new licence extension and children as young as two years old with cystic fibrosis are now eligible to receive Kaftrio through the interim access agreement.</p><p>NICE is currently consulting on its draft recommendations on the use of Orkambi, Symkevi and Kaftrio and has not yet published its final recommendations. NICE continues to work with stakeholders to address the issues highlighted by the committee in the draft guidance. Under the terms of the interim access agreement for the cystic fibrosis medicines, Orkambi, Symkevi and Kaftrio, eligible children and adults with cystic fibrosis can continue to receive ongoing treatment and be initiated onto treatment with these medicines, as clinically appropriate, while NICE concludes its evaluation.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 22/11/2023 15:41:27 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson

It is possible that average height figures for year six for 2006/07 to 2008/09 could have been affected by this lower participation in the measurement programme.<p> </p></li><li>Some of the variation in height across all NCMP years may be due to variation over time in average age of children when measured. In 2019/20, children were only measured up to March 2020 so the average age of children and therefore mean height was lower than other collection years. In 2020/21 the NCMP data collection did not start until April 2021 so the average age and therefore average height was higher than other collection years.<p> </p></li><li>The 2020/21 NCMP only collected around 20% of the usual sample. The sample was found not to be fully representative and therefore weighting was used in most NCMP publications to make the data comparable to other NCMP collection years. However, NHS England did not apply the weighting to the 2020/21 figures in the table above. When combined with the higher average age of the sample in 2020/21 it implies that data for 2020/21 cannot be reliably compared to the rest of the time series.</li></ol> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 25/01/2024 19:22:23 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom previous answer version 13893 answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom
