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>
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>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4044", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Andrew Stephenson"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Pendle"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Andrew Stephenson"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2024-05-23", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2024-05-23T16:08:56.173Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2024-05-20", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Drugs: Licensing"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what flexibility (a) NICE and (b) NHS England have to approve for use drugs that (i) are used in combination with other drugs, (ii) are used for various (A) conditions and (B) lines of treatment and (iii) provide significant benefits for some but not all patients; and what tools those organisations use to ensure the effectiveness of such appraisals.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4370", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Jess Phillips"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Birmingham, Yardley"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Jess Phillips"} ], "uin" : "27051"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1719225", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1719225/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

NHS England is seeking to address workforce shortages, particularly in community care, through the NHS Long Term Workforce Plan (LTWP). The LTWP, published in 2023, sets out the steps the National Health Service and its partners need to take to grow the NHS workforce and deliver an NHS workforce that meets the changing needs of the population over the next 15 years. The LTWP aims to grow the number and proportion of NHS staff working in mental health, primary, and community care, and sets out an ambition to grow these roles 73% by 2036/37.<\/p>
