Bad news to the MEA from NICE: no review considered necessary

[Wonko]

NICE does not routinely publish the names of topic experts as they are not part of the decision making process for the surveillance review.

hmmm...a bit vague IMO, does it mean;

1.that the "experts" are not part of the decision making process; or
2. that the "experts" names are not part of the decision making process (something that would seem self evident so why state it which would lead me to conclude they meant option 1)

do they also mean to suggest that a parliamentary question is the same as "routine" publication, as surely, there being many less parliamentarians than there are people, it is far from routine and should therefore be answered, or at the very least they should come up with a better "justification" for refusing to do so.

I've heard from a charity that they've been told it takes 28 days to register as a stakeholder? Presumably that's how long it takes NICE to process the application. But it's still worth doing for whatever comes after this.

Just to update, said charity were able to register in time after all. Hope everyone else who has tried to register has succeeded.
