answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/11/2018 answer text <p>Although estimates of the cost of cyber crime vary considerably, there are millions of individual victims, many thousands of corporate victims and correspondingly substantial losses. Therefore, whilst there is no robust estimate of the total cost of cyber crime to the UK economy it is likely to be billions.</p><p>The Economic and Social Costs of Crime report (Home Office, 2018) estimated a cost of £1.1bn from computer misuse incidents against individuals in the financial year 2015/16. However, it should be noted that this estimate is based upon experimental statistics and should be considered as a partial estimate as it excludes some key costs, such as the costs to businesses.</p> answering member constituency Wyre and Preston North answering member printed Mr Ben Wallace question first answered 20/11/2018 17:21:58 answering member 1539 label Biography information for Mr Ben Wallace

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/10/2018 answer text <p>The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence has advised that prior to the revised methods for the development of highly specialised technology (HST) evaluation guidance being introduced in 2017, the HST programme did not have a cost-effectiveness framework to inform the consideration of value for money. Therefore it is not possible to confirm if those technologies that were evaluated before April 2017 would have been recommended under the new methods, because the key elements of the new methods were not established and were not considered by the committee in the context of the many other factors taken into account in the decision-making.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 30/10/2018 15:49:43 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
