Alzheimer's Disease

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of whether the EuroQol 5-dimension questionnaire is the most appropriate tool for assessing the impact on caregivers of caring for people with Alzheimer's disease.

Answer

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.
