Following the government's decision to merge the funding arrangements for health care research across the UK with a £1 billion budget, a review of health research needs and future development was established and led by Sir David Cooksey.
Amicus obtained views from its members in the Medical Research Council and the Health Sector National Committee and the attached response - prepared by our MRC national rep, Jan Fogg - has been submitted to the review.
