I think a lot of news is (over) due and given August is generally not a month to disclose good news, we could hear a positive news flow in September . Plus in the 31st March RNS re the RF deal, there was mention of a 6th month news flow, which would take us until end Sept.

Agreed Stephen. September promises to be a very exciting month with UKCA news, confirmation of details of devote funding etc etc.

This will fly soon given all the potential good news flow due.

That was a very interesting DB post Nissan highlighted earlier - he talked about funding received for Dx products, not just one. He also talked about the 'cash being good', so perhaps our allocation is a lot more significant than the sums that have been previously talked about?

Its very obvious that to meet the NICE requirements on data, the test will need to be rolled out extensively across the NHS, otherwise the company will not be able to provide the data. NICE have stated that funding (although competitive) will be available for this geographical roll out to happen.

Thanks Eureka. Would be great to receive official confirmation from the company of this soon.

Jimi is dead right with his NICE interpretation. We can sell across the NHS now and last week were told in various posts that there was strong interest across the health service for the test.

The first whiff of international sales, we should see the SP react very positively .

The Austrian news is very exciting. I think they were the first international distributor to be announced so would be good to get an update on last week's news.

Another example no doubt of loads going on in the background we don't have confirmation of.....yet.

Ps if its not significant to the company as you suggest why did they RNS about their involvement in the partnership recently?

I am not barking you the wrong tree. I was merely asking when individual project details will be announced (as per the devote website) and didn't even mention GDR in mu enquiry. I was told about a month ago that the contracts were with Innovate UK to be signed and then project details would be announced so I was just asking for an update. This is public money so they will have to be transparent about the funding per project.

I've made a number of attempts in the last week to contact the Devote team at UoM for an update in terms of when individual projects will be formally announced etc but no response yet (did get a couple of out of office messages). Am sure we will have news very soon on this, maybe early Sept?

With all the possible positive RNS' due over the next few weeks, the 40's are very achievable again.

Good find.

I am hoping this is another example of so much stuff going on in the background we are not sighted on....yet!

That was a different David Budd!

Why did you think that it would only be 1 year?

Yes Health Innovation Manchester is supporting the roll out in the North West but the big question is who is supporting the national roll out if Trust wont receive funding for this for three years?

But does this not mean that Trusts wont receive any additional funding for the test for three years so if they do want to buy it, they will need to find the money themselves?

I think there will be a RNS in the next day or so as to the plan where we go from here.
