Heart Diseases: Stem Cells
(asked on 9th June 2015) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what estimate he has made of the likely timescale for making available on the NHS treatment for heart disease using stem cells.
This question was answered on 17th June 2015
The Department is aware of the research on the use of adult stem cells to treat heart disease and supports the development of regenerative medicine technologies. As this therapy is still in the clinical trial stage, it is not possible to make any meaningful estimate of when such treatments will be available on the National Health Service.
