HC Deb 09 December 1997 vol 302 c536W
20. Mr. Steen

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what is his policy towards the provision of recombinant factor VIII for the treatment of haemophilia sufferers. [18249]

Mr. Boateng

We take the same sound and fair approach to all treatments, namely that they should be clinically effective and based on sound evidence.

Concerns have been raised about access to this particular treatment. We are actively addressing them.
