It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Betts. I will be brief.

The Opposition note that the draft regulations are a response to a Conservative Government-launched consultation, more than 91% of respondents to which were supportive. As Conservatives, we welcome innovation and want to support UK patients getting early access to new and innovative treatments. I urge the Government to ensure that funding and hospital resources are available so that patients can benefit from them, and that businesses are structured so that they can use UK hospitals to innovate.
