Overview of the Act
The Access to Medical Treatments (Innovation) Act 2016 seeks to promote access to innovative medical treatments including the off-label use of medicines and the use of unlicensed medicines.
	The Act provides for the establishment of a database of innovative medical treatments, and for access to information contained in that database. The database would provide doctors with the ability to record details about innovative treatments and enable other doctors to access that information to improve the sharing of knowledge about innovations.
