A trial has seen Guernsey introduce more drugs and treatments to better align with the NHS.
Previously 160 out of 480 NICE approved drug and non-drug treatments weren't available in Guernsey.A two-year trial giving patients access to new drugs and treatment options is being reviewed.At that point around a third of NICE approved medical treatments weren't available locally unless patients paid for them privately.
It was expected to cost £14m, and make around 93 new treatments available for a range of serious health conditions including cancer, diabetes and MS. An independent company called Solutions for Public Health will conduct an in-depth clinical and financial analysis of the impact of the new treatments.CareWatch, an independent panel, is co-ordinating that part of the review.
