I re-emphasise that the early access scheme might need to be completely different from the scheme already in situ. As we spoke about at the meeting last week, there are quality thresholds and the area of value for money, or whatever way we want to put it. The drugs in question will never meet the criteria we set down under the existing process, so whatever early access scheme is devised will have to be bespoke. I ask for flexibility in it.
