Sandra Gidley

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what plans he has to ask the National Institute for Clinical Excellence to evaluate the(a) clinical and (b) cost effectiveness of providing PDE5 inhibitors on the NHS for treatment of erectile dysfunction. [123431]

Miss Melanie Johnson

We have no plans to ask the National Institute for Clinical Excellence to evaluate the clinical and cost effectiveness of providing PDE5 inhibitors on the National Health Service for erectile dysfunction. A review of the current policy was conducted as recently as 2001.
