For each of the drugs/medicines made available via the new treatment fund, have all been made available for prescribing within two months, and will the Cabinet Secretary publish the time it has taken for each drug/medicine to be made available for prescribing since being appraised by each LHB?
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Services | Answered on 30/05/2018
Of the 112 medicines recommended from 1 January 2017 to 30 April 2018, 109 (97%) were available for prescribing within two months.
My officials will arrange for the All-Wales Therapeutics and Toxicology Centre to publish the time taken for each medicine to be made available for prescribing by each LHB before the summer recess.
