answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/02/2021 answer text <p>The Government encourages the development of in vitro methods in place of animal testing and the development and use of new tests and alternative methods to the use of animal tests.</p><p>In accordance the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986, the principle of the ‘3Rs’ - Replacement, Refinement and Reduction - needs to be considered when selecting testing approaches to be used for regulatory testing of human and veterinary medicinal products. The challenge to academia, industry and regulatory scientists is to remain focused on designing nonclinical studies in relevant models, including New Approach Methodologies (NAM), to answer specific questions in time to support clinical decision making and communication of potential risks.</p><p>Maintaining effective dialogue among scientists in academia, industry and regulatory agencies during model development, qualification and validation will be essential to address this challenge. The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency works closely with the National Centre for the Replacement, Refinement and Reduction of Animals in Research and other regulatory agencies to identify opportunities for the ‘3Rs’.</p> answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries question first answered 17/02/2021 14:45:25 answering member 1481 label Biography information for Ms Nadine Dorries previous answer version 82084 answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries answering member 1481 label Biography information for Ms Nadine Dorries
