Based in HEDS, the DSU have produced reports dealing with implementing the Department of Health (DH) estimated values for Wider Societal Benefits into cost effectiveness models (reports 1 and 2). They have also provided commentary and critical review of the DH proposals around "Burden of Illness" (report 3) and "Wider Societal benefits" (report 4).
