The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) is the independent body responsible for developing evidence-based recommendations on whether drugs represent a clinically and cost-effective use of National Health Service resources. The NHS in England is legally required to fund all medicines NICE recommends, usually within three months of final guidance, and cancer drugs are eligible for funding through the Cancer Drugs Fund (CDF) immediately after NICE issues positive draft guidance.<\/p>
NICE published final draft guidance recommending mobocertinib for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer after platinum-based chemotherapy in adults whose tumours have epidermal growth factor receptor exon 20 insertion mutations on 16 November 2022. It is therefore routinely available for clinicians to prescribe to eligible NHS patients in line with NICE\u2019s recommendations, having been previously funded through the CDF.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4423", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Will Quince"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Colchester"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Will Quince"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2023-05-09", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2023-05-09T12:45:32.097Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2023-04-26", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Mobocertinib"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, when the drug Mobocertinib will be available on the NHS.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4131", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Jim Shannon"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Strangford"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Jim Shannon"} ], "uin" : "182854"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1623960", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1623960/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
The safety of sweeteners is the responsibility of the Food Standards Agency (FSA). As with other food additives, sweeteners are regulated, and safe use levels are established in legislation. Although occasional studies published in the scientific literature have attributed adverse health effects, including cancer, to sweeteners, this has not been substantiated. There is currently no credible evidence linking exposure to sweeteners in humans to cancer. The FSA will continue to assess new scientific data on food additives, to ensure that consumers are safe.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4679", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Neil O'Brien"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Harborough"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Neil O'Brien"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2023-05-05", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2023-05-05T09:13:26.823Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2023-04-26", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Cancer: Artificial Sweeteners"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department has made an assessment of the potential link between artificial sweeteners and cancer.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4131", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Jim Shannon"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Strangford"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Jim Shannon"} ], "uin" : "182855"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1623961", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Transport"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1623961/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Almost all workers are entitled to statutory paid annual leave. The government has produced guidance for employers and workers on how holiday pay should be calculated. If workers feel that they are being denied their holiday pay, they should speak to their employer or to Acas for free and impartial advice on employment matters. Workers can also make a complaint to an Employment Tribunal.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4474", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Kevin Hollinrake"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Thirsk and Malton"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Kevin Hollinrake"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2023-05-04", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2023-05-04T10:54:39.833Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "214"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Business and Trade"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Business and Trade"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2023-04-26", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Holiday Leave: Pay"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps she is taking to help ensure that all eligible workers are paid holiday pay.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4131", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Jim Shannon"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Strangford"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Jim Shannon"} ], "uin" : "182857"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1623963", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Work and Pensions"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1623963/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
