NICE decisions

NICE health technology appraisal decisions can be categorised into four types:

  1. Recommended: To be made available to all patients considered within the scope of the appraisal
  2. Restricted: To be made available to a sub-group of patients relative to the scope of the appraisal
  3. Not recommended: Not recommended for use by any patient relative to scope
  4. Terminated: Appraisal not complete and decision not reached

The number of decisions that are not recommended have increased since 2000. Around two-thirds of decisions restrict use in a sub-population of the relevant group of patients, and just over one quarter are recommended.
