The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the Full government response to the Lord O'Shaughnessy review into commercial clinical trials, published on 8 December 2023, if he will publish an assessment of progress on implementing the review’s recommendations.

Answered by Andrew Gwynne

The Department is committed to implementing recommendations from the Lord O'Shaughnessy independent review of commercial clinical trials in full, in order to maximise our potential to be a world leader and develop a more competitive, efficient, and accessible clinical research system.

The Department will publish progress against the commitments, aiming to align with the upcoming publication of the 10-Year Health Plan.
