Proceeding contribution from Alan Johnson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 4 November 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on NHS Patients (Access to Medicines).
NHS Patients (Access to Medicines)
It does not take 12 months. Here is £13 billion of taxpayers' money, and once again the Conservatives want to remove Government completely from the process and allow a giant unelected quango to deal with it. The hon. Member for North Norfolk (Norman Lamb) referred to the consultation that NICE has undertaken. NICE has said that the new procedures will apply while its consultation takes place. Those new procedures start today. I believe that members of NICE are the best people to say which drugs are likely to come through the process, and I believe that NICE will reappraise drugs through the process as well if they are referred. The core principles put forward by the PCTs should be ready early in January.
