Cancer: Drugs
(asked on 2nd February 2015) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they plan to ask NHS England to consult with patients on the decision to delist cancer drugs.
This question was answered on 13th February 2015
NHS England consulted, during October 2014, on proposed changes to the Cancer Drugs Fund (CDF) process to allow a re-evaluation of drugs/indications on the national Cancer Drugs Fund List and the incorporation of an evaluation of a drug’s cost into the CDF prioritisation process.
We understand that NHS England does not plan to undertake any further consultation on the most recent decisions of the CDF panel which were announced on 12 January 2015.
