Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will set up a National Institute for AI and Ageing as recommended in a recent report by the Institution of Engineering and Technology.

The NHS Artificial Intelligence Laboratory is addressing aging in a multi-disciplinary, cross-sector approach. The Laboratory is contributing to a range of projects, including identifying whether artificial intelligence (AI) can be used to detect the earlier onset of Parkinson's disease to enable a proactive approach to care; funding a range of ethics focused research projects to identify how all demographic groups can benefit from AI; and deploying imaging technologies which can detect the prevalence of conditions such as osteoporosis.
