Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what plans his Department has to ensure a funding requirement is placed on medical technologies, devices and diagnostics that receive a positive technology appraisal from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence.

A funding requirement automatically applies to any intervention, including medical technologies, devices and diagnostics, recommended in technology appraisal guidance issued by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, in line with the NHS Constitution.
