<p>In April 2017, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) amended
its methodology for the evaluation of highly specialised technologies to introduce
a weighted cost per Quality Adjusted Life Year (QALY). Under the new methodology,
technologies that deliver very significant health benefits can be recommended for
routine use up to £300,000 per QALY gained.</p><p> </p><p>NICE introduced the new
methodology following a public consultation and took into account a report produced
by its Decision Support Unit titled ‘Priorities for the NICE Highly Specialised Technologies
Programme Review of Methods’ as well as modelling of the impact on topics that had
previously been evaluated through the highly specialised technologies programme.</p>
