GSK statement in response to the Prime Minister’s speech on life sciences

“The Government’s strategy for Life Sciences is a very important next step on the journey to make the UK the best place in the world to locate pharmaceutical investment. The actions on research and manufacturing will further strengthen the attractiveness of the UK and most importantly the results of the Innovation Review should ensure that the NHS is a stronger adopter of innovative medicines and technology, ensuring that all patients can benefit from cost-effective treatments and interventions approved by NICE.

“As a global company with very strong roots in the UK, GSK is positive about Britain’s future prospects as a place to research, develop, manufacture and commercialise our medicines. We are committed to working with Government to ensure the strategy that has been set out today will deliver on the promise to make the UK a world class environment for life sciences.”
