I recently hosted a British Heart Foundation event in Parliament highlighting the importance of support for life saving scientific research. The UK leads the world in medical research, punching well above our weight. This isn’t down to a single factor but thanks to a team effort, with investment from the Government supporting funding from charities like the BHF.
If we are to prevent, diagnose and treat devastating conditions like cardiovascular disease in Bolton West, we need to ensure we protect our world-class research environment.”
