The Accelerated Access Collaborative (AAC) and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) monitor the pipeline of technologies receiving the relevant NICE guidance which meet the MTFM criteria.

There are no current plans for the Medical Technologies (MedTech) strategy to reassess the role of the MTFM.</p><p>The MTFM’s current policy criteria states that technologies must be effective, as demonstrated through positive NICE Medical Technology Guidance or Diagnostic Guidance. Technologies must also be cost saving, with NICE’s modelling demonstrating a net saving within three years and affordable to the National Health Service, with the gross cost impact not exceeding £20 million. While groups and themes may then be identified from the technologies which meet these criteria, they are not a pre-requisite. The selection currently supports only those technologies applicable in secondary care based on the NHS Standard Contract and the National Tariff Payment System.
