The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) has opened its standing committee meetings to observers from the public and press.
Holding committee meetings in public supports the Institute’s commitment to having processes for developing guidance that are rigorous, open and transparent.
It will also allow consultees and stakeholders to understand the basis for the acceptance or rejection of the various forms of evidence that are considered and illustrates how the committees take account of the evidence submitted by stakeholders and consultees.
The next Committee meeting to be open to the public is:
Technology Appraisals Advisory Committee – 18 September 2008
