Blood Cancer: Medical Treatments
Asked by: Paul Davies (Labour - Colne Valley) Tuesday 20th January 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will take steps to ensure NHS patients with Mantle Cell Lymphoma will continue to be able to receive the CAR-T treatment Tecartus after it has exited the Cancer Drugs Fund. Answered by Zubir Ahmed - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) Decisions on whether new medicines should be routinely funded by the National Health Service in England are made by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) on the basis of an evaluation of their costs and benefits. NICE is currently re-evaluating brexucabtagene autoleucel (Tecartus) to determine whether it can be recommended for routine NHS use, taking into account real-world evidence generated through its use in the Cancer Drugs Fund. NICE has been unable to recommend the treatment in final draft guidance, which is available at the following link: https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/indevelopment/gid-ta11545/documents This is because the available evidence does not suggest that brexucabtagene autoleucel is value for money in this population. Final guidance has not yet been published, and consultees have until 19 January to appeal NICE’s final draft recommendations. In line with an arrangement between NHS England and the company, if NICE’s final guidance does not recommend use, patients who started treatment during the managed access period can continue their treatment. |

Blood Cancer: Medical Treatments
Asked by: Paul Davies (Labour - Colne Valley) Wednesday 21st January 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether the forthcoming National Cancer Plan will contain measures to ensure patients with blood cancer can access lifesaving and cutting-edge new therapies via the NHS. Answered by Ashley Dalton - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) The National Cancer Plan, to be published in the coming weeks, will set out in more detail how we will improve outcomes for cancer patients, as well as speeding up diagnosis and treatment, ensuring patients have access to the latest treatments and technology. The National Cancer Plan will have patients at its heart and will cover the entirety of the cancer pathway, from referral and diagnosis to treatment and ongoing care, as well as prevention, and research and innovation. It will seek to improve every aspect of cancer care to better the experience and outcomes for people with cancer, including improving access to lifesaving and cutting-edge new treatment. Research is crucial in tackling cancer, which is why the Government invests over £1.6 billion per year in research through the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR). Cancer is a major area of NIHR spending at £141.6 million in 2024/25, reflecting its high priority. For example, the NIHR supported the development of an immunotherapy for patients with an aggressive form of leukaemia, which was approved for routine use in the National Health Service by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence in November 2025. |

Notes the upcoming Senedd election on 7 May 2026. 2. Believes that the Senedd election provides an opportunity for new leadership for Wales. 3. Calls for the implementation of Plaid Cymru’s proposals to: a) introduce a waiting list plan to clear the current backlog, put the NHS on a more sustainable footing and ensure patients are not left waiting years in pain for treatment; b) establish a new national development agency, providing a one-stop-shop for business support, supporting and growing Welsh-owned businesses at every stage of their development; c) introduce a minimum 20 hour-a-week universal childcare offer to give every child the best start in life and allow parents to return to work; d) introduce a foundational literacy and numeracy plan to establish national benchmarks, provide targeted support, and ensure high-quality teaching and transparent progress tracking; and e) introduce a new Wales bill to secure parity of devolved powers with Scotland, as a necessary lever to unlock Wales’s potential. 4. Regrets that 26 years of a Labour Welsh Government has led to: a) over 8,700 pathways waiting over two years for treatment despite the target to eradicate such waits completely by March 2023; b) Wales having the second lowest gross disposable income per head and primary income per head of all the UK nations and regions, with both falling as a proportion of the UK average; and c) Wales’s scores in literacy and numeracy being the lowest they have been since first participating in PISA in 2006, and are the lowest among UK nations for the fifth time in a row. 5.

Calls on the Welsh Government to implement Welsh Conservative calls to: a) declare a health emergency in the Welsh NHS, eliminate excessive waiting times in emergency departments, for ambulances, tests, and treatment, introduce a GP wait guarantee, and promote patient choice as a driver of healthcare improvement; b) get the Welsh economy moving by cutting the basic rate of income tax, eliminating business rates for small businesses, restoring the default speed limit to 30mph, investing in road infrastructure, and scrapping land transaction tax for main homes; c) improve education outcomes in Wales by restoring discipline and respect in Welsh schools, cracking down on violence and poor behaviour, banning mobile phones in Welsh classrooms, empowering teachers, and enabling the establishment of academy schools; d) stop spending taxpayer money on non-devolved areas, and reverse Senedd expansion; e) support working families by matching the childcare offer available in England; and f) scrap and replace the sustainable farming scheme with a truly sustainable scheme that protects rural jobs and has food security at its heart. If amendment 1 is agreed, amendment 2 will be de-selected. Amendment 2 Jane Hutt (Vale of Glamorgan) Delete all after point 1 and replace with: 2. Recognises the policies of the Welsh Labour Government over this Senedd term have led to: a) 18,652 additional homes for rent in the social sector being delivered; b) 46,000 jobs supported; c) almost 60 million free school meals for primary school children being served and recent improvements in educational attainment; d) the most progressive and generous student support offer in the UK, meaning household income does not decide where you go to university; e) long waiting times for treatment and tests falling and the NHS being on course to provide an extra 20,000 cataract operations this year; f) a National Forest being planted and action to safeguard communities from the legacy of coalmining being taken; and g) more than £1 billion being invested to transform the core Valleys Lines into a modern metro system. 3.
