Consultation description

On 1 July 2006 the Department established links with NICE whereby all technology appraisals and clinical guidelines published from that date are locally reviewed for applicability to Northern Ireland and, where appropriate, are endorsed for implementation in health and social care. The local review does not reassess the clinical and cost evidence used by NICE in forming its advice. This link has ensured that Northern Ireland has access to up-to-date, independent, professional, evidence-based guidance on the value of health care interventions.

Guidance for the consultation can be found on the NICE website

The HSC (SQSD) 3/13 circular provides details of the process for the endorsement, implementation, monitoring and assurance of NICE Clinical Guidelines in Northern Ireland

In order to meet the timescales set out in the circular, the closing date for responses is Tuesday 5th January 2016.
