The new NICE threshold will rise to \u00a325,000 to \u00a335,000 for every quality adjusted life year.<\/p>\n
In return for the changes, the White House will grant an exemption for U.K.-made pharmaceuticals, ingredients and medical technology from U.S. tariffs for the remainder of President Donald Trump\u2019s term.\u00a0<\/p>\n
U.K. Science Secretary Liz Kendall said the deal \u201cwill ensure UK patients get the cutting-edge medicines they need sooner, and our world-leading UK firms keep developing the treatments that can change lives.\u201d<\/p>\n
U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick claimed the deal as a \u201cmajor win\u201d for American workers, adding: \u201cWe are strengthening supply chains, creating high-quality jobs, and reinforcing America as the world\u2019s premier hub for life-sciences investment.\u201d<\/p>\n
The breakthrough comes after months of back-and-forth between both sides, with the sector not covered in the Economic Prosperity Deal and Washington demanding a \u201cpreferential environment\u201d to lift the threat of steep import duties. The administration had threatened to impose up to 100 percent tariffs on drugs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In July, the President issued a letter to 17 drugmakers, demanding they offer their drugs to Medicaid at most-favored-nation prices, prices tied to lower prices abroad, and shift manufacturing to U.S. soil.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The new NICE threshold will rise to \u00a325,000 to \u00a335,000 for every quality adjusted life year.
