Life sciences sector plan to grow economy and transform NHS
The government has launched a life sciences sector plan as part of the government’s industrial strategy, setting out a mission to harness British science and innovation to deliver economic growth and a stronger, prevention-focused NHS. The UK is already a global leader in life sciences, with the sector worth around £100 billion to the economy, and employing around 300,000 people. This plan aims to turn research into new treatments, faster diagnoses, and more lives saved.
