Kieran Lamb"The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (Nice) is admired by governments abroad but regularly provokes an outcry in the UK. It was devised to do a job no health minister wants to do – to decide which new medicines are worth having in the NHS and which are too expensive.
The drug companies have been understandably hostile from the outset. More difficult for Nice has been the fury of patients' groups, which have sometimes gone into battle on the manufacturers' behalf."
