Lord Mancroft – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department of Health

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Mancroft on 2016-04-13.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether NHS England’s decision to treat 10,000 hepatitis C patients represents a cap on the number of patients the NHS can treat in 2016–17.

Lord Prior of Brampton

NHS England’s approach paces the roll-out of hepatitis C treatment in accordance with the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommendation for prioritisation and the modelling assumptions which informed the NICE recommendations.
