Abstract
This paper outlines NICE’s approach to the analysis of cost effectiveness and the way that this has been developed in NICE’s programme of work on public health. The value for money of public health interventions when measured by cost utility analysis is explored. The importance of shifting from a national resource allocation model to a local decision making model of return on investment is described.
The new tool which NICE has developed for determining return on investment for public health interventions at local level will be demonstrated. The case of smoking cessation will be used to illustrate the results the model yields.
