Dame Angela Eagle (Labour)

The Department is working closely across Government to finalise governance arrangements and plans for implementing the commitments set out in the United Kingdom’s five-year national action plan for antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

We anticipate that the first cross-Government UK AMR national action plan Delivery Board will meet in the summer. This board will be responsible for overseeing and driving delivery of the commitments in the national action plan and will receive regular reports on progress against the national ambitions.
