Ateb
Atebwyd gan Minister for Health and Social Services
The £80m New Treatment Fund was introduced in January 2017 and provided £16m every year to health boards over its first five years.
Since 2021-22, health boards have continued to receive £16m each year as part of their annual funding allocation to support prompt access to new and innovative medicines.
Since the New Treatment Fund’s introduction, 505 new medicines and treatments have been made available within an average of just 16 days of being recommended for use in the NHS by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) or the All Wales Medicines Strategy Group.
