NICE process and methods

1 Grounds of appeal

1 Grounds of appeal

The grounds of appeal are:

  • Ground 1: In making the assessment that preceded the recommendation, NICE has:
    a) failed to act fairly
    or
    b) exceeded its powers

  • Ground 2: The recommendation is unreasonable in the light of the evidence submitted to NICE.

The Appeal Panel can only consider appeals that fall within one or more of the two strictly limited grounds. Either or both parts of ground 1 can be appealed. Appeals on any other grounds will not be considered.
