Search NICE guidance for England by drug, device, procedure or condition — technology appraisals, NICE and clinical guidelines, diagnostics guidance, interventional procedures and quality standards. Returns the reference number (TA1040, NG101), title, guidance type, publication date and summary. Answers whether NICE has assessed a treatment and which document says so, which is the first step to whether the NHS in England funds it.
