MPs plan "short" inquiry into NICE: PharmaTimes reports that the House of Commons Health Committee has announced that it is to hold a "short" inquiry into the work of the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE). The inquiry will be held before the term of office for the current chair - Professor Sir Michael Rawlins - ends in March 2013. A pre-appointment hearing will be held by the Health Committee for the government's preferred candidate for the new chair towards the end of this year. Prior to this hearing, the short inquiry is intended to examine the way the Institute has discharged its current functions and will look forward to the changes in its role that will come into effect from April 1 next year.
The Health Committee is now calling for written submissions on the work of NICE and the deadline for submitting written evidence to the Committee is noon on Monday October 29 2012. PharmaTimes
