To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what plans the NHS has to make erenumab available to people with migraines.
Steve Brine
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Health and Social Care
The National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE) is currently developing Technology appraisal guidance on the use of erenumab for preventing migraines. NHS commissioners are legally required to fund drugs and treatments recommended by NICE’s technology appraisal programme. In the absence of positive guidance from NICE, it is for commissioners to make decisions on whether to fund this treatment based on an assessment of the available evidence.
