	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/07/2016 answer text <p>Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is growing, presenting huge costs to both society and the global economy – it is estimated that AMR will have a cumulative cost of $100 trillion by 2050. One of the main issues driving the increase in AMR is a market failure preventing enough new antibiotic drugs from getting to market. The United Kingdom sees the G20 as the best forum to discuss this economic issue and take action. The UK is calling for the G20 to look at how it can put in place innovative financing mechanisms to reinvigorate the antimicrobial development pipeline and help rectify this market failure.</p> answering member constituency Oxford West and Abingdon answering member printed Nicola Blackwood question first answered 19/07/2016 13:46:45 answering member 4019 label Biography information for Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford
