The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he has had discussions with his counterparts in (a) Scotland, (b) Wales and (c) Northern Ireland on access to Enhertu for patients with HER2-low breast cancer.
Answered by Karin Smyth
My Rt hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, spoke with his counterparts in Scotland and Wales on his first full day in office and will continue to engage with them on a regular basis. However decisions on the availability of individual treatments to National Health Service patients in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are for the devolved administrations so he has therefore had no discussions about the availability of Enhertu for HER2-low breast cancer with his counterparts.
