Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of publishing quarterly updates on data that helps illustrate the levels of utilisation of her Department's access initiatives including the (a) Innovative Medicines Fund, (b) Innovative Licensing and Access Pathway and (c) Early Access to Medicines Scheme.

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency already publishes updates on the use of the Innovative Licensing and Access Pathway and the Early Access to Medicines Scheme. NHS England plans to publish similar quarterly updates for the Innovative Medicine Fund as are published for the Cancer Drugs Fund.
