The UK seems to approve drugs faster than the US. I didn't know the NHS had to approve them too. Interesting to hear about the differences.

There's an organisation called NICE, National Institute for Clinical Excellence. Basically NICE decides whether a new drug (or treatment) is cost effective &/or substantially different in indication or efficacy from what's already out there. So a drug can be licenced and in the British National Formulary, but not approved for use in the NHS (lol).
