National Cancer Drug Management
The Challenges:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Oral drugs: PCRS ≥ 50% of expenditure.
Parenteral drugs: Individual hospitals.
Overall “spend” ≥ €150m - €200m per annum.
Growth rate: 18% per annum in hospitals.
New drugs > €45,000/QALY.
Patients increase by 5% per annum.
National financial situation.
National Cancer Drug Management
• Gradual implementation of central funding for
high cost drugs 2013 onwards.
• Protocols/Order Sets/Patient information.
• Registration by diagnosis.
• Financial/reimbursement process in planning.
• NCCP Technology Review Committee, March
2011.
Membership of NCCP Technology
Review Committee
• A minimum of three members recommended by relevant
professional society, faculty or college, who have content
experience in the specific discipline and are approved by the NCCP
Director. (e.g. Medical Oncology, Haematology, Radiation Oncology
and Surgical Oncology)
• A minimum of one Pharmacist.
• A minimum of one member with Health Economics,
Pharmacoeconomics or statistics and epidemiology expertise.
• A minimum of one invited participant from a related clinical discipline
(e.g. Pathology or Radiology).
• One representative appointed by HIQA
• Up to three additional members may be appointed.

Essential Components of a
Successful Approval Process
Strive to achieve and maintain:
• Ethical (principle of reasonable fairness across patient
groups).
• Evidence-based.
• Clinically favorable balance of benefit versus toxicity.
• Consensus development re threshold of costeffectiveness.
Essential Components of a
Successful Approval Process
• Health Economics.
• Affordable (total budget impact).
• Accessible (by expert tumours site groups and
industry).
• Timely.
• Transparent multidisciplinary process.
• Stakeholder involvement.
Implementation Principles
• Education/information for doctors/patients.
• Universal access for eligible patients.
• Compliance with standards.
• Drug utilisation monitoring.
• Periodic evaluation and population-based outcomes.
Treatment Support
• Chemotherapy Protocols.
• Pre-printed doctors’ orders.
• Patient education handouts.
• Cancer Management Guidelines.
• Systemic Therapy Policies (standards and safety for
patients and staff).
Education & Research
•
•
•
Foster the culture of clinical research
participation and innovation across
professional disciplines and services.
Collaborate with professional Colleges and
Universities to support continuous professional
education.
Develop primary care skills in prevention,
diagnosis, care and follow up to facilitate safe,
high quality care in the community.
IPHA Agreement 2012
• The agreement provides for agreed principles and policies for the
reimbursement of new medicines in Ireland. In the case where a
product requires a pharmacoeconomic assessment the QALY
threshold to be used in the HTA process will be €45,000. Those
products which satisfy the HTA criteria (including meeting the
€45,000 QALY criterion) as agreed with the HTA Authority prior to
submission of application will be added to the relevant
reimbursement scheme.
• However, the agreement provides that exceptional products, which
fail to satisfy the €45,000 QALY threshold for a variety of reasons,
may be processed for inclusion in the reimbursement list subject to
meaningful discussions between the HSE, DOH, relevant clinicians
and the Drug Company.
National Plan for Medical Oncology
In development 2011 onwards:
•
Multidisciplinary human resource planning.
•
Evidence-based national guidelines, treatment protocols.
•
Baseline assessment of drug safety processes 2012/13.
•
Quality and safety policies for safe drug delivery.
•
NCCP Technology Review Committee for oncology drugs
and related molecular tests implemented March 2011.
•
National oncology drug budget planned for 2013.
•
NCCP Chief Pharmacist appointment, Jan 2013.
