Guide to the technology appraisal and highly specialised technologies appeal process

6 Rejected appeals

If the lead non-executive director for appeals rejects all appeal points during scrutiny, a letter will be issued to the appellant(s) to confirm an appeal will not be held. The appellant(s) and stakeholders will be informed of the rejected appeal and the new publication date of the final guidance. At least 2 working days after the stakeholders are informed, NICE will publish a notice on its website announcing that an appeal had been received but was rejected during the scrutiny stage. At the same time, the appeal letter(s), scrutiny letters and responses to these letters will be published on the NICE website.
