This is a decision based on independent clinical advice by the multi-agency RAPID C-19 and a United Kingdom national expert policy working group. These groups considered a range of evidence, including clinical trial data, in vitro analysis and emerging observational studies and concluded there is currently insufficient evidence of benefit to recommend deployment. The Chief Medical Officer for England is content that the correct process for providing clinical advice has been followed and it should be referred to the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence for further evaluation.</p><p>The Department intends to publish further details of the clinical advice received shortly.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 27/09/2022 14:49:54 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick
