Committee Recommendations (1)

01 Apr 13 - Not Set
FOR NEW PATIENTS ONLY. Prescribing of Dornase Alfa will be considered RED on the Prescribing Adviisory database. Historically amber for Cystic Fibrosis patients via nebulisation / inhalation. Funding now rests with NHS England for this treatment.
FOR EXISTING PATIENTS: GPs should continue to prescribe these treatments. NHS England are looking to repatriate these patients in the future. The Medicines Management Team will be in contact with prescribers when they have more information
