8 NICE prioritisation board oversight
All new topics or updates (as stated in sections 7.1.2 to 7.1.4 and section 7.2) that bypass the NICE-wide prioritisation process, and any innovative pilot projects, such as the NICE Late Stage Assessment (LSA) in HealthTech and the DHSC Medical Technology Innovation Pathway, will be shared with the NICE prioritisation board so it will have an oversight of the whole NICE guidance portfolio.
