I refer the hon. Member to the Written Ministerial Statement that I made on 20 November 2014, Official Report, column 14WS. The review of the pathways for the development, assessment, and adoption of innovative medicines and medical technology will consider how to speed up access for National Health Service patients to cost-effective new diagnostics, medicines and devices.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government is working to establish the formal terms of reference for the review. These will be published in due course. The exact structure of the review is currently being considered and, as appropriate, procurements will be through standard departmental procurement processes.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The review will set out both short and long-term options for action by Government and relevant bodies \u2014 including the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency and NHS England. Officials are already working with these bodies and will continue to do so as the review progresses.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The review will take into account a wide range of evidence to draw up its recommendations. We anticipate an initial report before the autumn.<\/p>

Ambulance services are busier than ever. The latest data for November 2014 shows that East Midlands Ambulance Service NHS Trust (EMAS) is not meeting the three national standards:<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

- Red2 A - 71.5% (standard 75%)<\/p>

The NHS Trust Development Authority, Care Quality Commission, clinical commissioning groups and other local trusts continue to work together to support the Trust, which has recovery plans in place.<\/p>

As part of record operational resilience planning for winter, we have provided an additional £50 million to support ambulance trusts locally in managing extra demand. Nationwide, we have 1,700 more paramedics since 2010.<\/p>
