Proceeding contribution from Lord Lansley (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 8 December 2005. It occurred during Estimates day on Department of Health.


Department of Health

: We have not heard the hon. Lady’s proposal on Herceptin. On the face of it, Herceptin has significant beneficial effects as disclosed in clinical trials, but a licence application has yet to be made in respect of it. In France, there is explicit recognition that in certain circumstances, certain drugs can provisionally be made available for use, pending licensing and approval. Is that not the right mechanism? If not, what does the hon. Lady propose?
