Review of NICE Technology Appraisal Guidance No.188; Human growth hormone for the treatment of growth failure in children (review of TA42)

Proposal to move the existing guidance to the static list

The planned date for review of the above guidance is May 2013.

This is the date at which the Institute decides whether sufficient new evidence has emerged for the Appraisal Committee to be asked to undertake a full review appraisal.

There is currently no new evidence that is likely to have a material effect on the existing recommendations. Consequently we propose that TA188 should move to the static list of technology appraisals.

Topics on the static list may be transferred back to the active list for further appraisal if new evidence becomes available that is likely to have a material effect on the last guidance issued.

In order to be completely confident that this is appropriate, we are asking all relevant consultees and commentators, to inform us of any evidence which will help us decide the best way to update this guidance. Please see appendix A for a full list of the organisations we have contacted.
