Cris: regarding Nice funding. I have found a couple of items that might be relevant to your search
1) A response to a written question in the HOC in 2005
http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200506/cmhansrd/cm050629/text/50629w21.htm
You will note that funding comes from the depsrtemnt of health and the welsh assembly
2) The 2007-2008 Business plan
http://www.nice.org.uk/page.aspx?o=428841
So to answer your question, NICE is funded primarily by the DOH as a Special Health Authority.
