What does Rose v Thanet tell us about the status of NICE guidelines in priority setting?

We look at this judgment and its consequences for commissioners in the health service.

In Rose v NHS Thanet Clinical Commissioning Group (2014) the Administrative Court considered whether the CCG had acted unlawfully in failing to implement a clinical guideline issued by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, despite there being no statutory duty to do so.
