Breast Cancer Drugs

Proceeding contribution from Theresa Villiers (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 January 2017. It occurred during Backbench debate on Breast Cancer Drugs.

I was profoundly moved by the case of my constituent, Rosalie Marshall, who sadly is suffering from breast cancer. She told me that she finds it hard to understand why the NHS can spend such significant sums on conditions which, frankly, are not life-threatening and sometimes seem to verge on the cosmetic, and yet not give priority to vital drugs like Kadcyla. Surely something is wrong, and savings could be made in other parts of the NHS that would more than pay for Kadcyla.
