Proceeding contribution from Liam Byrne (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 8 December 2005. It occurred during Estimates day on Department of Health.


Department of Health

I am sorry to see that the consensus has collapsed as quickly as a soufflé. I do not have the precise figures on research and development in front of me, but I shall be delighted to write to the hon. Gentleman with the details of NHS research and development. It is an issue of great importance not only to the NHS, but to the country, which is why my right hon. Friend the Chancellor announced such bold proposals to increase funding in that area by, potentially, more than £1 billion over the next few years.
