Under the National Blood Agreement, interested parties can make proposals for changes to products or services on the National Products and Supply List. Schedule 4 of the National Blood Agreement provides for evidence-based evaluation, information and advice to be provided to support decisions on these changes.
In 2006-07, the JBC determined that a suitable health economic evaluator should be procured to design a purpose-built methodology and framework to evaluate national blood supply change proposals and to apply the methodology and framework to the evaluation of all applications the NBA receives. An initial procurement process in December 2006 was unsuccessful in identifying an organisation to develop this methodology. As a result, the NBA separated the required work into two discrete sections and is currently investigating options for progressing it. It is expected that the evaluation framework will be developed and the first proposal presented for decision in 2007-08.
