This question was answered on 16th September 2015
The Review will make recommendations to Government on reforms to accelerate access for National Health Service patients to innovative medicines and medical technologies (including devices, diagnostics and digital), making our country the best place in the world to design, develop and deploy these products. This includes looking at regulation, reimbursement, assessment and uptake.
