The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will make an assessment of the potential impact of the incoming US presidency on healthcare research in the UK.

Answered by Andrew Gwynne

The United Kingdom’s world-class health research ecosystem makes us a natural and leading partner for the United States’ research community and life sciences. The United States ranks the highest in the number of co-authorships, between UK researchers and researchers in international organisations, of peer reviewed biomedical journal papers. The Government will continue to encourage close working between our respective research funders to support cutting-edge, collaborative research between the UK and the United States.
