Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, when the Government plans to publish its response to the consultation on changes being proposed to Advisory Committee on Borderline Substances policy about oral nutritional supplements listed in part XV of the Drug Tariff.
The Advisory Committee on Borderline Substances (ACBS) is independent of Government. The ACBS will present its findings in a consultation report to the Department. At this stage, the report will be shared with the British Specialist Nutrition Association for further comment within a month. The Department will then consider the finalised report in relation to each of the proposed policy options.
