answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/07/2022 answer text <p>Bevacizumab (Avastin) is not routinely funded on the National Health Service in England. In 2012, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) considered the clinical and cost-effectiveness of bevacizumab for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer in adults. However, it was unable to recommend the drug as an effective use of resources. NICE monitors new evidence which may affect its guidance and would consult on proposed changes with stakeholders if any such evidence emerges.</p><p>Where a treatment is not routinely commissioned by the NHS, a patient’s clinician may submit an individual funding request if they consider it is in the patient’s best interests.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 26/07/2022 16:26:12 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield

tabling member printed	Sir Christopher Chope
uin	39754
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/07/2022 answer text <p>A Prevention of Future Deaths (PFD) report is issued under Regulation 28 of the Coroners (Investigations) Regulations 2013. It is the established legal process through which a coroner reports any findings which have given rise to concern that future deaths might occur unless action is taken. The PFD report is sent to a person or organisation the coroner considers has the power to take action, which they are obliged to respond to.</p><p>The Department follows this legal process and awaits the coroner’s expert report before responding. The Ministry of Justice is responsible for the relevant regulations and a coroner may send a PFD report to any and all Government Departments they consider appropriate. There have been no recent discussions with the Chief Coroner in relation to this approach.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Erewash answering member printed Maggie Throup question first answered 25/07/2022 13:35:59 answering member 4447 label Biography information for Maggie Throup
