The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) makes recommendations on whether all new medicines, including advanced therapeutic medicinal products (ATMPs), should be routinely funded by the National Health Service based on an assessment of clinical and cost effectiveness. The NHS is legally required to fund those medicines which NICE recommends.<\/p>
<\/p>
NICE has recommended the majority of the ATMPs evaluated to date, often following commercial agreements negotiated by NHS England and manufacturers. The Innovative Medicines Fund launched earlier this year and the existing Cancer Drugs Fund also support early patient access to ATMPs while further evidence is collected to address clinical uncertainty.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4948", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Markham"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Markham"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2022-11-10", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : {"_value" : "HL3167"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2022-11-10T16:45:55.14Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2022-11-02", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to support patient access to new Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs).", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4130", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Ritchie of Downpatrick"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Baroness Ritchie of Downpatrick"} ], "uin" : "HL3166"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1360897", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1360897/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
The Government\u2019s calculations were based on the following criteria:<\/p>
<\/p>
- ending wholly unpredictable care costs;<\/p>
- providing at least £500 million to support the adult social care workforce over three years, including funding initiatives to support mental health and wellbeing and introducing further measures reforms to improve recruitment; and<\/p>
- providing funding to enable all local authorities to move towards paying providers a fair rate for care, to improve the quality of adult social care services, workforce conditions and increase investment.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government will work with care users, providers and other stakeholders to develop plans for the reform of adult social care, including the development of a new training and qualifications offer for the care sector, in a white paper later this year.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4909", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Kamall"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Kamall"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2021-11-05", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2021-11-05T12:11:10.783Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2021-10-18", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Social Services: Finance"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty's Government how they calculated the allocation of £5.4 billion extra funding for social care, announced in Build Back Better: our plan for health and social care in September; and what proportion has been allocated for basic training for care workers.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/2018", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Hylton"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Hylton"} ], "uin" : "HL3166"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1189648", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1189648/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
I am aware of the strain that many charities are under during this time of financial uncertainty and increased demand on their services. On 8 April, the government announced a £750 million funding package for charities delivering frontline services.

Some media reporting and public comments suggested that the picture together with the tag line was racist. In the answer I gave on 2 November 2016 to Question HL2682, it was acknowledged that this could have been open to misinterpretation. This is because such things are a matter of judgement and personal perception.
