NICE comes under scrutiny

The House of Commons Health Committee is to conduct an inquiry into the work of the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence. It will investigate why NICE decisions are increasingly being challenged, whether public confidence in NICE is waning and whether any particular group is disadvantaged by the evaluation process used by NICE. The committee will also examine implementation of NICE guidance.

Written evidence (PDF 140K) is invited by e-mail (healthcommem@parliament.uk) until 23 March 2007.
