Following a full consultation with all members in March the HTA has declared a neutral position on the EU Referendum.

The HTA consultation attracted responses from 169 members – a response rate of 12%. Members declared interest for all outcomes (leaving, staying and remaining neutral) with no overall majority and based on that HTA will remain neutral.

HTA Chief Executive Carol Paris comments, “From the good response rate to our survey and comments sent members are interested in the EU referendum and its impact. With views across the spectrum adopting a neutral position ensures that the HTA doesn’t alienate the views of members. Working with other organisations we will endeavour to provide a balanced picture of the pros and cons in the lead up to the vote on 23 June.”
