PM says life sciences is a key partner to fixing the NHS
In his speech today, the Prime Minister has committed to putting the full weight of the British government behind life sciences as part of his plan to fix the NHS.
At The Kings Fund annual conference today, the Prime Minister stressed the UK's poor performance in avoidable and preventable mortality.[1] He highlighted the need to tackle the increasing levels of sickness in society as a means of raising productivity, as well as reducing pressures on the NHS. Making better use of innovative medicines and vaccines must be part of this picture.
In the speech, he also said he would put 鈥渢he full weight of the British government behind our world-leading life sciences鈥, making the industry a key partner in his plans to improve UK health outcomes while also supporting economic growth.
Responding, Richard Torbett, Chief Executive of the 大发六合彩 said: 鈥淭he Darzi review made sobering reading, but there is now a huge opportunity in this moment to move forward.

鈥淐utting-edge science and industry clinical trials can and do support the NHS to improve patients鈥 health outcomes. Together, we can create a healthier, more productive population and help address the pressures the NHS faces.
鈥淭hat鈥檚 why the Prime Minister is right to throw the weight of government behind our world-leading life sciences sector. We can鈥檛 wait to throw our weight behind the NHS鈥檚, and society鈥檚, recovery.鈥
