The Prime Minister, David Cameron, has announced an extension to the Cancer Drugs Fund for two years. Since 2011, the fund has ring-fenced £200 million a year of the NHS budget for cancer treatments which may not yet have been assessed by NICE or which have been found not to be cost or clinically effective enough for wider use on the NHS. The Government's extension will make the fund available until 2016. For more details, go to: http://www.nice.org.uk/newsroom/news/GovernmentExtendCancerDrugsFund.jsp
