For each year since 2011, how many Individual Patient Funding Requests (IPFRs) for medications have been made to each health board; and of these requests, how many IPFRs were accepted and how many were rejected by each health board?
Information on individual patient funding requests by health board is not collected centrally. Public Health Wales (PHW) has published annual reports, “Individual patient funding requests and top-up payments: annual report for Wales” for 2013 - 2015. They can be accessed on the PHW web site in the Annual Report section by clicking on the link below:- http://www2.nphs.wales.nhs.uk:8080/
Data for 2011-12 may be available from individual health boards.
The annual report of IPFR data for 2015-16 will be published in September by the All Wales Therapeutics and Toxicology Centre.
