Applications are subject to peer review and judged in open competition, with awards being made on the basis of the importance of the topic to patients and health and care services, value for money and scientific quality.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 20/05/2024 14:27:46 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson
