Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Liz Twist (Labour). It was answered on Wednesday, 21 February 2024 on behalf of the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology.
Medical Technology: Research and Development
- Question
-
The north-east has a fantastic life sciences sector, with 7,000 people working in it and a unique combination of medical and technology assets, networks and academic expertise. However, with business investment at record lows, what are the Government doing to ensure that our brilliant research and development is transferred into real manufacturing jobs?
- Answer
-
As the hon. Lady will know, the Government are investing in medical manufacturing. I would be happy to meet her or businesses in her constituency to make sure that they can access those funds. However, it is only the good stewardship of our economy that has allowed us to continue to invest record amounts in research and innovation in the UK.
