The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what plans his Department has to support the life sciences sector (a) in the North West and (b) generally.

Answered by Feryal Clark

The life sciences sector will play a crucial role in both kickstarting economic growth and building an NHS fit for the future. To support this potential, we will cement this sector’s world-leading status. By ensuring the NHS works hand-in-hand with life sciences, research institutions and medical technology companies, we will drive the development of new treatments and help grow our industries across the UK.
