To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the Answer of 15 February 2022 to Question 119864, how many of the 25 per cent of approved devices from UK manufacturers, have a (a) CE marking; and (b) UKCA mark; and how many of those are registered to UK-based companies.

All applications for CTDA approval must be made from a place of business registered in the UK. As of 25 February 2022, 14 out of 31 applications approved were from manufacturers established in the UK. All were made from a place of business registered in the UK.
