The Government has been clear that we should always put citizens first. This was reflected in the Prime Minister\u2019s letter to the President of the European Council confirming the Government\u2019s decision to invoke Article 50. We want to strike an early agreement about the rights of EU nationals in the UK and UK nationals in the EU and we would have been happy to do so in advance of negotiations.

The proposed budget impact test is expected to apply to a minority of appraisals. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) estimates that around 80% of technologies appraised between June 2015 and June 2016 fell below the level of the proposed budget impact test.<\/p>
<\/p>
The National Health Service spent over £15 billion on medicines in 2015/16, a 20% increase since 2010/11, and the purpose of the budget impact test is to help to manage the introduction of high budget impact products into the NHS, and to ensure that their introduction does not distort the NHS\u2019s ability to fund other priorities.<\/p>
