The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will make a comparative assessment of the adequacy of levels of access to Procysbi for people with Cystinosis in England compared to other parts of the UK.

Answered by Dr Zubir Ahmed

The Government does not plan to undertake a comparative assessment of access to individual medicines across the United Kingdom. Health is a devolved matter and each UK nation is responsible for making its own decisions on the funding and use of medicines for patients in its health system.
