<p>The Annual Statistics of Scientific Procedures on Living Animals in Great Britain
do not include data on the reasons for changes in the number of procedures carried
out year to year.</p><p>The Government is committed to the development of alternatives
to using animals in scientific procedures and continues to actively support and fund
the development and dissemination of the 3Rs (replacement, reduction and refinement)
for the use of animals in scientific procedures. This is achieved through UK Research
and Innovation’s funding of the National Centre for the 3Rs, which works nationally
and internationally to drive the uptake of non-animal technologies, and through research
into the development of alternatives by Innovate UK, the Medical Research Council,
and the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council.</p>
