    Brief

    This research commission seeks to develop current, scientifically robust evidence-based values for economic appraisal, specifically: Value of a Life Year (VOLY), Willingness to Pay per Quality-Adjusted Life Year (WTP-QALY), and Value of a Prevented Fatality (VPF). These values are essential for UK Government departments and agencies to conduct rigorous cost-benefit analyses and economic evaluations of policies and interventions affecting public health and safety. The research will ensure that government decision-making is grounded in the latest evidence and can withstand external scrutiny. This is Lot 3, focusing on supplementary empirical research to strengthen and validate existing methodologies and findings.
