Streptococcus: Clinical Trials

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will publish the outcome of the UK National Screening Committee Group B Streptococcus trials completed in 2024.

Answer

The UK National Screening Committee does not run its own trials. The committee is currently awaiting the findings of an independent trial into Group B Streptococcus, which concluded its recruitment phase in 2024. Neither the committee nor my Rt Hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care have any influence over the date of publication for this independent trial.
