SNP MP Stewart McDonald has written to Gilead UK to urge the pharmaceutical company to make a submission to the Scottish Medicines Consortium (SMC) for the drug Truvada to be used as Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) in HIV infection.
Stewart McDonald MP has raised the prospect of an emergency debate on PreP. Speaker John Bercow confirmed it was a possible approach.
Following an urgent question today on NHS England's decision not to commission & fund PreP, Stewart McDonald MP criticised the government for falling behind on the issue.
