Information requested

"The date that the Nuremberg Code was given Royal Assent to be enshrined in Scots Law".

Response

As a general principle, health ethics is not devolved to Scotland and therefore the Nuremberg Principles are not part of Scots Law. However, research conducted in NHS Scotland is regulated and governed through a UK wide system which observes those principles. About FOI
