    4 Committee members

    This topic was considered by NICE's medical technologies advisory committee, which is a standing advisory committee of NICE.

    Committee members are asked to declare any interests in the technology to be evaluated. If it is considered there is a conflict of interest, the member is excluded from participating further in that evaluation.

    The minutes of each committee meeting, which include the names of the members who attended and their declarations of interests, are posted on the NICE website.

    NICE also recruited clinical experts and specialist committee members for this topic.
