answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/04/2020 answer text <p>The Government makes decisions based on the best scientific evidence, along with consideration of the economic, operational, social and policy implications of any interventions that might be introduced. The remit of SAGE is to provide science advice to the Government, but this is just one part of the picture. Scientific advice from SAGE is often considered alongside advice from other specialisms such as economics. As new scientific questions emerge, the participants at SAGE will change to provide the best available scientific evidence at that time.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 28/04/2020 11:29:08 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan
