We provide professional secretariat, pharmaceutical, clinical and health economics support to AWMSG and its subgroups.
We co-ordinate and support the Individual Patient Funding Request (IPFR) process following national consultation and the new One Wales Interim Commissioning Process.
We also manage the Wales Patient Access Scheme, a scheme introduced to enable manufacturers of medicines to offer a price reduction or rebate, thereby improving the cost-effectiveness of a medicine.
