§ Mr. Ivan LewisTo ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will list those health authorities which have agreed to fund the cost of drugs for use within the photodynamic therapy trials currently being conducted in Liverpool. [123892]
§ Ms StuartNone of the drugs on trial in Liverpool have yet been licensed in this country. In line with normal practice for any clinical trial, all supplies at this stage are funded by the drug companies concerned. It is unlikely that health authorities will yet have considered or discussed possible future funding arrangements.
