Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of regenerative medicine techniques on surgical recovery.
Answered by Dr Zubir Ahmed
Regenerative techniques, such as cell therapies, growth factors, and bioengineered scaffolds, can accelerate wound healing, which is particularly valuable in complex or high‑risk surgeries. NHS England maintains an overview of the advanced therapy medicinal products in development and assesses the potential National Health Service impact and the requirements for individual treatments as part of its due diligence, ensuring the NHS is ready to deliver innovative new treatments that secure a positive Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency licensing decision and National Institute for Health and Care Excellence recommendation.
