Ehler-Danlos Disease (Hansard, 20 January 2004)

HC Deb 20 January 2004 vol 416 c1105W 1105W

§ 22. Mr. Pickthall
To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will fund research into Ehler-Danlos disease. [148806]

§ Dr. Ladyman
The Medical Research Council (MRC) is not currently funding any research into Ehlers-Danlos though it does fund a number of research projects into connective tissue and also into collagen physiology. The MRC always welcomes high quality applications for support into any aspect of human health and these are judged in open competition with other demands on funding.
