Responding to today’s publication of Sir David Cooksey’s report on the design and funding arrangements of the public funding of health research in the UK Simon Denegri, Chief Executive at the Association of Medical Research Charities (AMRC), said:
Our members will welcome the importance to be given in the new Office for Strategic Co-ordination of Health Research (OSCHR) to building a stronger partnership between Government, health industries and medical research charities. Also the opportunities to be provided by the engineering of a more positive culture in support of research within the NHS, and associated mechanisms for encouraging the adoption of new ideas and therapies of benefit to patients. Finally, we welcome the emphasis given in the report to maintaining the UK’s current strengths in basic science.
