The Department has not separately assessed the use of EQ-5D-5L for measuring the impact on carers of people with Alzheimer’s disease. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence has recently consulted on proposals to adopt EQ-5D-5L into its health technology evaluation manual and is considering the responses.
