The Department for Business and Trade wants to reset our relationship with the EU and deepen ties with our European neighbours.
The Department will work to improve the UK's trade and investment relationship by tearing down unnecessary barriers to trade.
The Department will seek to negotiate a veterinary agreement to prevent unnecessary border checks, to help touring artists, and to secure mutual recognition for professional qualifications to open up priority markets for service exporters.
The Secretary of State has already held positive discussions with his European Commission counterpart Valdis Dombrovskis and has met with German Vice-Chancellor Robert Habeck to discuss UK-German shared trade interests.
The Department recognises the transformative potential of using artificial intelligence (AI) tools in health and care. In May 2024, more than 1.66 million patients were on a waiting list for a diagnostic test in England alone. AI has the potential to reduce this waiting list by ensuring that patients waiting for critical tests for diseases like cancer get faster diagnoses. Earlier diagnosis will, as a result, support better patient outcomes.
For example, in stroke care, a leading cause of death and disability in the United Kingdom, AI tools that are now in place in every stroke unit in England can halve the time it takes some patients to receive treatment. Early results also indicate that using these tools may triple the number of stroke patients achieving functional independence following a thrombectomy, considerably improving patient outcomes.
We are committed to transforming diagnostic services, including through AI tools, and will support the National Health Service to increase diagnostic capacity to meet the demand for diagnostic services through investment in new capacity, including magnetic resonance imaging and CT scanners.
