Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what data they have, if any, on the success of treatments provided by COVID Medicines Delivery Units in the UK; and whether they are looking at the data on patients unable to access a CMDU and their outcomes.
NHS England and NHS Improvement collect data on treatments for patients hospitalised due to COVID-19, hospital-onset infections and non-hospitalised patients treated through COVID Medicines Delivery Units (CMDUs). Data is collected on the numbers of treatments prescribed and administered, which shows that as of 12 June 2022, approximately 48,000 patients have been treated via CMDUs in England.
NHS England and NHS Improvement are working with the research community to monitor observational data on treatment outcomes. In addition, the Government’s PANORAMIC study of novel COVID-19 antivirals is expected to publish outcomes of its research in due course.
