Oral answer to question provided on Wednesday, 17 November 2010 in the House of Lords, by Earl Howe (Conservative).
NHS: Prebiotics
- Answer
-
My Lords, we regard the departmental budget as being there to enable those who have good-quality and well-designed research projects to bid for those funds. I will take on board my noble friend’s implicit suggestion that the department should pursue the issue but, in doing so, I bear in mind that these products are commercially produced and that it is really for the manufacturers to come up with robust clinical data.
This is an answer to the Oral question asked on Wednesday, 17 November 2010 by Baroness Knight of Collingtree (Conservative).
- Question
- My Lords, the Minister said that there was not enough evidence to be sure that prebiotics are effective. Can he say whether any active efforts will be made to get that evidence, or does he mean that people must wait until a request has been made before such efforts are embarked upon?
