Summary
Working Party on Research on the Mentally Incapacitated Published December 1991 – (Reprinted August 1993)
Introduction
The Working Party on Research on the Mentally Incapacitated was established by the Medical Research Council (MRC)in July 1988. The Council proposed the following terms of reference:
(i) to consider the adequacy or otherwise of existing MRC statements and the published guidance from other bodies about the conduct of non-therapeutic research investigations in the special circumstances of research on the mentally incapacitated;
(ii) to consider whether, in the light of (i), the Council should formulate new guidance, and if so prepare advice on the ethical conduct of research on the mentally incapacitated taking account of the existing guidance and supplementing, extending and modifying it where necessary;
(iii) to make recommendations to the Council.
The Working Party membership was as follows:
Mrs Renee Short (Chairman)
Dr J LT Birley
Mr I C Dodds-Smith
Professor R E Kendell
Mr W H Wells
Professor J K Wing
The Working Party submitted its report to the Council in July 1991. The Council endorsed its recommendations and agreed that its report should be published.
Background
1.1 The Council's general stance on ethical matters is set out in the Statement first published in the Council's Annual Report for 1962–63 (Cmnd 2382)and subsequently reprinted as a booklet ‘Responsibility in Investigations on Human Subjects’.
