Not playing with a full DEC: why development and evaluation committee methods for appraising new drugs may be inadequate

In this article by Nick Freemantle and James Mason (29 May, pp 1480-2), the reference list did not include reference 2, the NICE discussion paper (“Faster access to modern treatment”: how NICE appraisal will work.
