Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment her department has made of the potential implications for its policies of the "Improving affordable access to essential medicines, diagnostics and health technologies for children and adolescents living with noncommunicable diseases (NCDs)" proposal submitted to the World Health Organisation.

The National Health Service provides care free at the point of delivery, therefore children and adolescents living with noncommunicable diseases in the United Kingdom have free access to essential medicines, diagnostics, and health technologies.
