Letter to NICE regarding proposed changes to engagement in Health Technology Appraisals

National Voices, alongside 22 other organisations, has written to the chair of NICE, David Haslam, expressing concern about proposals to reduce the patient and clinician representation at Health technology Appraisal committee meetings, in the interests of efficiency.

The signatories call for a delay to consultation on the proposals to ensure proper engagement through the ‘Patients Involved in NICE’ group.
