Most new drugs and significant licence indications are assessed by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) through its technology appraisal programme, through which NICE has been able to recommend a significant number of drugs for the treatment of rare cancers and other diseases for routine use on the National Health Service. NICE also operates a separate Highly Specialised Technology evaluation programme for the evaluation of a very small number of treatments for very rare diseases.<\/p>

Since April 2017, there are currently 27 drugs in 42 indications that are funded by the Cancer Drugs Fund (CDF). A full list of current and previous CDF drugs can be viewed at the following link:<\/p>
<\/p>
https://www.england.nhs.uk/cancer/cdf/cancer-drugs-fund-list/<\/a><\/p> <\/p> The latest published spend for the first six months of 2017/18 implies a circa £76 million of unused funding for that period against the CDF. The quarterly activity report is a snapshot of CDF spend at a point in time and the spend figure will increase as more drugs are added to the fund. The link to the report can be found here:<\/p> <\/p>
