The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, when the next meeting of the NHS England Clinical Priorities Advisory Group (CPAG) will take place; and what steps the Government plans to take to fund treatments previously reviewed by CPAG.

Answered by Karin Smyth

The NHS England Clinical Priorities Advisory Group (CPAG) continues to meet on a monthly basis to consider policy propositions and service specification propositions that are categorised as in year service. The next scheduled meeting was due for 4 June 2025. The further review of treatments previously considered by CPAG that require significant investment will be deferred until such point that recurrent revenue funding can be identified to support new discretionary spend commitments.
