Details

In this publication, the government confirms that the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) will:

• play an important part in the future value-based pricing of branded medicines
• have a bigger role in evaluating drugs, through assessing a medicine’s benefits and costs

This will help make sure that the price the NHS pays for new medicines is more closely linked to their value to NHS patients and society.
