Mrs. Curtis-Thomas

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if the National Register for Clinical Trials has been established. [121690]

Ms Stuart

Details of research projects undertaken in the National Health Service are currently made available on the National Research Register, funded by the Department. The NRR has over 50,000 records and is available on CD-ROM and on line. To improve the information on clinical trials, the Department and the NHS are currently working in collaboration with its research partners to develop a national register of all funded clinical trials.
