Will the Cabinet Secretary provide a list of all additional treatments and medicines that this fund will help gain access to, and if possible, provide any details on the estimated cost of each item?

The New Treatment Fund will support the faster introduction of all new medicines recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence and the All-Wales Medicines Strategy Group. Both organisations publish their recommendations monthly on their web-sites. We will publish a list of all new, recommended medicines at regular intervals with details of the disease/condition the medicine treats. Budget impact will be included where possible and not in breach of commercial confidence.
