	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/03/2019 answer text <p>The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) makes recommendations on whether specific drugs and other treatments represent a clinically and cost-effective use of National Health Service resources through its technology appraisal and highly specialised technologies programmes. Topics are identified through an established topic selection process and formally referred to NICE by Ministers. Companies do not apply to NICE for an assessment and NICE does not grant applications. NICE aims to issue recommendations on new drugs referred to it within a few months of licensing and therefore normally begins its appraisal process before the drug receives a marketing authorisation.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 07/03/2019 16:34:44 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
