<p>The Department has had no such discussions with NHS England on ensuring liothyronine
is prescribed in accordance with the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence
guidelines, nor does the Department intend to conduct such an assessment.</p><p>The
Regional Medicines Optimising Committee published its latest guidance on the prescribing
of liothyronine in November and we can confirm NHS England is working closely with
clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) on the prescribing of liothyronine to support
them with the implementation of guidance for CCGs on items which should not be routinely
prescribed in primary care.</p><p>CCGs are expected to have regard to national guidance,
and are responsible for developing their own local approaches to its implementation
taking into account local priorities and needs.</p>
