NICE work programme revised
14 January 2011
Following the publication of the Public Health White paper – Healthy Lives Healthy People, the Department of Health (DH) have changed the scope of the NICE work programme and the guidance it produces.
DH have removed six topics which previously fell under the NICE remit and two of these relate to injury prevention on the roads:
- Preventing unintentional road injuries among under 15s: education and protective equipment
- Preventing unintentional road injuries among young people aged 15 to 24
NICE will continue to make available the guidance published previously on this topic.
The Child Accident Prevention Trust (CAPT) is the UK's leading charity working to reduce the number of children and young people killed, disabled or seriously injured in accidents.
