The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 20 November 2024 to Question 901341 on Drugs: Safety, what the outcome was of the recent ministerial roundtable.

Answered by Karin Smyth

Following this roundtable, the Government is developing its strategy to support a move away from the use of animals, in favour of suitable alternative methods, in both basic scientific research and in the development of products, and also in the regulatory oversight thereof. This involves input from representatives of those organisations who were present at the roundtable. A detailed strategy document will be published early in the new year.
