To promote health care supported by the best evidence, we use established scientific methods to analyze evidence and develop assessments of new and existing health care services and medical devices.
These reviews, called health technology assessments, also include recommendations on whether these services and devices should be publicly funded. As of September 2025, the rate of acceptance of recommendations to the Ministry of Health on medical devices and health-care services since FY 2011/2012 is 78%. The rate of implementation/adoption of accepted recommendations since FY 2011/2012 is 100%. The annual rate of acceptance for FY 2024-25 is 0% since recommendations issued during that period are currently under the Ministry’s review.
