Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, if he will meet with eye research charities to discuss addressing age-related sight loss within the proposed Health Advanced Research Programme as part of the Government's work on the ageing society.
Answered by Sam Gyimah
The Health Advanced Research Programme (HARP), as articulated in Sir John Bell’s Life Sciences Industrial Strategy, proposes that industry, charities, NHS and Government collaborate on ambitious and long-term projects targeted at global healthcare challenges, using tech to transform healthcare in the future and drive UK economic growth. HARP is a proposal in development at this stage, and eye research charities are welcome to write to me and request a meeting to discuss their views on this, and the Government’s work on an ageing society.
