(ii) expand DIRUM to include resource use instruments from outside the UK;
(iii) conduct a review of economic evaluations in which resource use instruments catalogued in DIRUM have been used;
(iv) conduct an updated systematic review of the empirical evidence on the validity and reliability, and factors affecting the validity of resource use measures
