Description
This purpose of this proposal is to consider the adoption of a health economic
evaluation model to replace the relative prioritisation process conducted through the
Clinical Priorities Advisory Group (CPAG), for all cost-pressure policies in
Specialised Commissioning determined to be 'for routine commissioning'. An
overview of the policy development process is presented in the Methods document.
The proposed introduction of a health economic evaluation model aims to improve
transparency in the decision-making process and to make funding recommendations
throughout the financial year rather than at one or two meetings per year. This will
speed up the access to the treatments that are agreed to be funded by NHS
England. A feasibility study is proposed as the first stage (Stage 1) in a two-part process to
determine if any standard health economic models can be applied to the CPAG
prioritisation process. If any standard health economic models are found by two
independent health economists to be both applicable and practicable to cost-pressure policies in Specialised Commissioning, a pilot study can then be carried out
incorporating the respective recommendations (Stage 2).
The expected outcomes to be provided by the independent health economists for
this proposal are as follows:
I. To determine whether any standard health economic model(s) can be applied
to cost-pressure policies in Specialised Commissioning determined to be for
routine commissioning. These include but are not limited to: CUA,
probabilistic evaluation, pairwise comparisons and the STAR methodology.
II. To provide a report of no longer than 20 pages with an executive summary on
the health economic models examined, outlining their respective strengths,
weaknesses and the degree of applicability and practicality of incorporating
the aforementioned model(s) to cost-pressure policies in Specialised
Commissioning
III. To review the framework of the current process and identify any shortfalls
required to inform a health economic model
IV. To provide a fee-estimate for the proposal outlined with a deadline to
completion of 3 months or earlier from the date of agreement
