Question reference: S6W-30816

Asked by: Miles Briggs, MSP for Lothian, Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party
Date lodged: Wednesday, 23 October 2024
Current Status: Answered by Neil Gray on 7 November 2024

To ask the Scottish Government, further to the answer to question S6W-30256 by Neil Gray on 8 October 2024, how many blood cancer clinical studies have been supported by the NHS Research Scotland (NRS) Cancer Network in each financial year since 2018-2019.

Data provided by the NHS Research Scotland Cancer Research Network on the number of blood cancer clinical studies that have been supported by the Network in each financial year since 2018-19 are shown in the following table, noting that individual studies can take a number of years to complete. The figures are inclusive of studies open to recruitment and in participant follow up in any given year, paediatric and adult studies, and public, charity, and industry sector funded studies.

Year	Number of clinical studies supported in given year
2018-19	206
2019-20	200
2020-21	212
2021-22	221
2022-23	218
2023-24	230

The data source used to compile the information above provides a more detailed study record compared with the source used to answer question S6W-30256. This accounts for the difference in the figure for the number of studies supported in 2023-24 given in the table above and in the answer to question S6W-30256.
