Supply side factors such as the availability of skilled labour are considered likely to be of greater significance.<\/del><\/p><p><del class=\"ministerial\">With regard to the impact of price regulation on the placement of clinical trials in the UK, the Government\u2019s assessment is that price control schemes in general are more likely to impact decisions about the location of late-stage than early-stage trials, as the location of late-stage trials may be more influenced by commercial considerations about where to launch a new medicine.
