answer text <p>The Department regularly meets with the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) to discuss a range of issues. NICE’s technology appraisal programme has been proven to be suitable for the assessment of innovative medicines and advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) where companies are able to price their products in a way that represents value to the taxpayer.</p><p>NICE has recommended several ATMPs through its technology appraisal programme that are now available to patients in the National Health Service. NICE concluded a review of its methods and processes for health technology evaluation in January 2022 and has introduced changes that ensure that its appraisal processes are suitable for emerging new medicines, including a broader severity modifier and changes to better respond to uncertainty.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Department has not issued any such guidance. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) is an independent body and is responsible for the methods and processes that it uses in the development of its guidance, including the criteria used to determine whether topics should be routed to the technology appraisal or highly specialised technologies programmes. NICE made changes to its health technology evaluation manual in January 2022 following a comprehensive review of its methods and processes, including public consultation. As part of these changes, the eligibility criteria for the highly specialised technologies programme were clarified to make them clearer and more predictable.</p> more like this
