Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, pursuant to the Answer of 22 February 2017 to Question 65172, if he will publish a list of NICE-approved treatments that NHS England forecast would have a high budget impact in any of the first three years of their use, including the actual budget impact of those treatments in each year.


This question was answered on 20th April 2017

The changes to technology appraisals and highly specialised technologies are being implemented for topics with a first evidence submission to the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) after 1 April. It is therefore too soon for products assessed under the new arrangements to have received final guidance from NICE.
