Baroness Tonge asked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether there have been any developments in using cord blood stem cells in clinical treatment. [HL3566]
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of Health (Lord Darzi of Denham): The department monitors progress in the use of cord blood stem cells, including via dialogue with key stakeholders in this area. The department is conducting a review to examine current United Kingdom practice on the collection and use of umbilical cord blood and to compare this practice with other countries. This analysis will be used to inform future policy on cord blood.
