HIV Infection: Drugs

(asked on 7th October 2016) - View Source

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what progress his Department has made on reaching a decision on NHS England's commissioning responsibilities for drugs capable of preventing HIV infection in high-risk groups.


This question was answered on 14th October 2016

In September the Court of Appeal heard an appeal against an earlier judgement of the High Court, which ruled that NHS England does have powers to commission pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for people at risk of contracting HIV. Judgement is still awaited. No decisions on commissioning of PrEP have yet been made.
