§ Mr. Beithasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what treatment is available under the National Health Service which involves the injection of foetal cells as a treatment for Alzheimer's disease or related conditions.
§ Mrs. Edwina CurrieI understand that no such treatment is available. There has been some research which suggests that implantation of embryo brain cells relieved symptoms in animal models of Alzheimer's disease. There is no guarantee that this will lead to the development of effective treatment for humans.
