[Niblick]

Have PMRGCAuk lobbied NICE to allow NHS Doctors to prescribe a second year of Tocilizumab?

I think we replied with what we know in your last post -

Haven’t see anything since…

Yes, I believe the charity are doing all they can. Just yesterday my Rheumatologist, who is a Patron of the charity, said as much.

I believe that Rheumatologists have also petitioned on the issue.

We must hope that the decision will be overturned soon. 🤞

I believe that NICE was due to review the original decision in 2021 but Covid put paid to that. Take heart from the replies you have already received as I can add nothing new to what has already been said.
