Patients for whom NHS England has commissioning responsibility will have access to treatments which are successful in their application to the upcoming Factor IX tender. Whilst there are no immediate plans for product switching, NHS England will continue to seek to optimise the value offered by all tenders which impact on healthcare budgets.
