The National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) today welcomes the announcement of additional topics for its forward work programme. Topics including management and care of drug misuse, drugs for prostate cancer, and management of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have been referred to NICE by the Secretary of State for Health and the Welsh Assembly Government in line with the national priorities they have established for the NHS. Once these topics have been referred, the development of the subsequent advice is entirely the responsibility of NICE.
