question text	To ask His Majesty's Government what consideration was given to the costs of complicated grief in families of patients dying from SOD-1 MND during the evaluation process that led to the decision to decline access to tofersen for NHS patients.
tabling member printed	Baroness Finlay of Llandaff
uin	HL3733
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/04/2024 answer text <p>The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has not yet started its evaluation of tofersen for treating amyotrophic lateral sclerosis caused by SOD1 gene mutations, and has therefore not published any guidance or recommendations on whether tofersen should be available for National Health Service patients. In developing its recommendations, the NICE will follow its published methods for health technology evaluation, which will include a thorough assessment of the available evidence. This takes into account all health-related costs and benefits, including health benefits not only to patients but, where relevant, to other people such as carers. The NICE’s aim is to publish its guidance on tofersen as close as possible to the date it receives its marketing authorisation.</p> answering member printed Lord Markham grouped question UIN HL3732 question first answered 22/04/2024 15:05:49 answering member 4948 label Biography information for Lord Markham

Business cases are scrutinised by a national approvals panel with clinical and diagnostic experts to assess feasibility prior to approval. CDC locations are also subject to Ministerial approval. Surgical hub locations have been selected by a clinically-led process to ensure that sites are connected to the appropriate services to deliver high quality outcomes for patients and to consider health inequalities.
