To ask the Secretary of State for Health whether he has any plans to instruct the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence to establish a quality standard and guidelines for the treatment of hepatitis C.
The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) has been asked to develop a clinical guideline on the diagnosis and management of hepatitis C. The clinical guideline is expected to inform the development of the quality standard on “liver disease (non-alcoholic)” that was referred to NICE as part of the quality standards library in March 2012. NICE has not been asked to develop a separate quality standard on hepatitis C.
