uin	6302
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/09/2017 answer text <p>Under the new arrangements for the appraisal and funding of cancer drugs introduced in July 2016, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) aims to publish draft recommendations on the use of all cancer drugs before licensing. Where NICE’s draft guidance recommends use of the drug for routine commissioning or for use through the Cancer Drugs Fund, NHS England will make Cancer Drugs Fund funding available for its use in National Health Service patients in line with NICE’s recommendations from the point of licensing. There should therefore be no gap in the availability of cancer drugs recommended by NICE that had previously been made available before licensing under the Early Access to Medicines Scheme.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 06/09/2017 12:57:24 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
