NICE or nasty€” discuss?

NICE was established by the former Health Minister, Frank Dobson in 1999. Its website quotes its remit as €œan independent organisation responsible for providing national guidance on promoting good health and preventing and treating ill health.€ It was to €œensure everyone has equal access to medical treatments and high quality care from the NHS€”regardless of where they live in England and Wales€. It was hoped that the post-code lottery would be consigned to the dustbin of history!
