Written Question
Medicine: Israel
Wednesday 14th February 2018

Asked by: Ian Paisley (Democratic Unionist Party - North Antrim)

Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what steps he is taking to increase trade in medical research and development with Israel.

Answered by Graham Stuart

The UK and Israel have a strong and important trading relationship, and we are committed to strengthening it. We have a dedicated team in our Embassy in Tel Aviv which actively promotes UK-Israel trade. They have succeeded in increasing the export of medical devices to Israel.

The UK-Israel Tech Hub, based at the Embassy, helps to create tech and innovation partnerships across several sectors, including healthcare. One of their projects, the UK-Israel Dangoor Healthcare Initiative, aims to create a pipeline of digital innovation for the NHS.

There is also extensive bilateral collaborative medical research between the UK and Israel.
