RE: Why the delay27 Jun 2024 18:33
On another website I came across this email response purportedly from the project manager at the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence :
"RE CYP2C19 genotype testing to guide clopidogrel use after ischaemic stroke or transient ischaemic attack
Resolution has now concluded, so we plan to publish as soon as we can. NICE is working in partnership with colleagues at NHS England and NHS Improvement, to develop a resource to support the implementation which will publish alongside the final guidance. To allow time for the implementation resource to be finalised, the earliest anticipated publication date for the final guidance will be 31 July 2024."
So if genuine, the actual delay is NOT on account of the CYP2C19 ID Kit but so that NICE, in conjunction with NHS. can develop a resource to support the implementation which it will publish alongside the final guidance.
In that case the delay would turn out to be very positive.
I, for one, topped up today.
