Answer
Medical research charities are an integral part of the United Kingdom’s world-leading life sciences sector. The Department of Health and Social Care is closely liaising with the Association of Medical Research Charities, as well as individual charities, to understand the impact of the pandemic on this sector and identify how best the Government and charities can work together to ensure that patients continue benefiting from charity funded research. We will consider any proposals put forward by government departments for further action in this area.
