answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/12/2020 answer text <p>Ensuring patients have access to the medicines they need is vital. The Department brought this matter to the attention of the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) who opened an investigation.</p><p>Essential Pharma has now agreed to continue supplying Priadel to the National Health Service and we have agreed revised prices with the company. This means patients can continue to access this important treatment as normal without the need for widespread systematic switching. The CMA has received a proposed commitment from Essential Pharma that it will continue to supply Priadel for a minimum of five years, thereby securing the long-term availability of this crucial medicine.</p><p>We continue to communicate the most up to date information with the NHS, including general practices and mental health trusts and further updates are expected to be issued shortly.
