How to comment

When you go into the document you will find instructions on how to use the new commenting software. You can also review and edit your comments before you submit them.

You can download a PDF version of the consultation document, but you can only make comments on the online version.

We have asked some questions about the consultation that we would like you to answer. You will be able to see the questions when you go into the online consultation document.

We would also like you to think about whether there are any aspects of the recommendations that need particular consideration to make sure we avoid unlawful discrimination against any group of people on the grounds of:

• race
• Sex
• disability
• religion or belief
• sexual orientation
• age
• gender reassignment
• pregnancy and maternity.
• Marriage and Civil partnership

Note that this document is not NICE's final guidance on this technology. The recommendations in section 1 may change after consultation.

After the consultation has closed the medical technologies advisory committee will meet again to consider the responses received and prepare the final medical technologies document.
