Some statistical thoughts on the effectiveness of medical care (prompted by visiting some very sick friends – my apologies to anyone who finds these thoughts distasteful) I understand that £30,000 per QALY is a threshold often adopted by NIHCE in determining cost-effective care. Does anyone know how much the average QALY costs for people of different ages? I expect it may be £1 million or so for very elderly people, at least in some cases.
