Executive Summary
The UK government has said it will not yet publish the results of its ongoing evaluation of prototype variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) assays. Gillian Merron MP, on behalf of the health secretary, told Parliament that the evaluation "is ongoing, and interim results will not be issued at this stage". Results will eventually be published under the auspices of the CJD Resource Centre Oversight Committee, she said on July 15. (Parliament is currently in recess; it resits on October 12.)
