Is the NHS using QALYs beyond drug treatments?

Is there a list somewhere of the QALYs for every intervention?

It becomes enough of a hot potato to say "drug X works, but not enough so we're not paying for it" because it lets you complain that the drug companies are charging too much.

But when you say "surgery X works, or 1:1 therapy works, but not enough so we're not paying for it", criticism now comes from both sides: the workers doing their job and the public.
