UK response: Innovation Health and Wealth
The UK government has identified Life Sciences and Healthcare as important sectors to generate new
economic growth as well as increasing the quality of care for patients
NHS England website, January 2014
We need to create a system for innovation that continually scans for new ideas, and takes them
through to widespread use. In order to do this, we must work with industry, academia, staff and
patients, to set an agenda for change and delivery. Innovation Health and Wealth, December 2011
