<p>The use of animals in research is carefully regulated and remains important in
ensuring new medicines and treatments are safe. At the same time, the Government
believes that animals should only be used when there is no practicable alternative
and it actively supports and funds the development and dissemination of techniques
that replace, reduce and refine the use of animals in research (the 3Rs). This is
achieved primarily through funding for the National Centre for the 3Rs, which works
nationally and internationally to drive the uptake of 3Rs technologies and ensure
that advances in the 3Rs are reflected in policy, practice and regulations on animal
research.</p>
