Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 11 September 2018 to Question 169109 on drugs, what level of funding NHS England has proposed for the financial planning process for products undergoing review by the prioritisation process in 2019-20.

The 2019/20 allocations are to be presented to NHS England’s Board on 28 November 2018. After the overall allocation has been formally agreed by the Board, the distribution of the allocated funding will be agreed; this will include the level of the 2019/20 funding envelope for treatments going through the relative prioritisation process. Confirmation of the level of funding is anticipated in late December 2018.
