Asked by: Richard Graham (Conservative - Gloucester)
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment his Department has made of the progress of talks on procuring medicines between the NHS and Bio Marin.
Answered by Seema Kennedy
We have made no such assessment. Discussions about commercial agreements for medicines are rightly held between NHS England as an independent body and the manufacturer concerned. The Department plays no role in such discussions.
