The content values of clinical and cost-effectivenessare clearly and explicitly important in decision-making inAustralia. Other values related to justice/equity, such as the“rule of rescue” and reducing health inequality in societyare also important. The experience of decision-makers inAustralia suggests it is difficult and/or perceived as unde-sirable to quantify the relative importance of values acrosstechnologies or contexts. This reinforces the need for adeliberative decision-making process and would seem toindicate a possible mismatch between the needs of thehealth technology decision-maker and current attempts toquantify decision weights to support HTA recommenda-tions (e.g. [76,79,82]). Nevertheless, combined deliberativeand weighting approaches that individualise core socialvalue criteria weights to specific technologies, for examplethrough multi-criteria decision analysis, might providean appropriate systematic approach to considering socialvalues in HTA decision-making [83]
