Tixagevimab/cilgavimab

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will take steps to ensure that the continued consultations around the rollout of Evusheld do not impede his Department’s ability to procure that antiviral drug.

Answer

The Department is conducting an assessment of Evusheld, including requesting advice from clinicians on the most appropriate option for the National Health Service in line with available data, the public health situation and other treatments available. While we are considering the advice received, we are currently unable to confirm a specific timetable for any decision.

In addition, the Department is determining the most appropriate patient groups which could potentially benefit from prophylactic treatment and any considerations on potential deployment.
