The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to ensure that NHS patients in Bracknell Forest can access clinical trials.

Answered by Dr Zubir Ahmed

There is a revolution taking place in medical science, and we want the next generation of treatments to be discovered, developed and distributed here in Britain. As set out in our 10-Year Health Plan, we will fast-track clinical trials set up times to 150 days by March 2026.

The Department is supporting National Health Service patients in Bracknell Forest to access clinical trials through the National Institute for Health and Care Research.
