Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what timescales his Department has set for making decisions on appeals on the delisting of treatments from the Cancer Drugs Fund.
NHS England has advised that decisions on appeals against the removal of drugs from the national Cancer Drugs Fund (CDF) list have now been made and the individual companies concerned have been informed of the outcomes.
A revised national CDF list was published on 12 March 2015 and is available at:
