answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/11/2017 answer text <p>Through the implementation of the United Kingdom’s Five-Year Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) strategy (2013-18) the Government continues to encourage and invest in research and development of new antimicrobials. The Government also works closely with industry through a Joint Government/Industry AMR working group, with specific focus on appropriate use of existing antibiotics and innovative reimbursement models for new antimicrobials.</p><p> </p><p>An AMR Funders’ Forum, overseen by the Medical Research Council, brings together the principal funders of UK investment into AMR research and development to ensure a coordinated approach. Central Government is represented by several departments (The Department of Health, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy and Department of International Development), along with arms’ length bodies and other key stakeholders. The National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) is funding research themes on antimicrobial resistance and infection of at least £19.1 million (over five years from April 2017) in four NIHR Biomedical Research Centres. NIHR is also providing more than £7 million of funding over five years for two NIHR Health Protection Research Units on antimicrobial resistance related research.</p><p> </p><p>Along with its funding of UK research and development (R&amp;D), the Government is committed to working with the international finance and health security communities to develop global solutions which address the antibiotic market failure and better preserve existing drugs and products. The Department leads the Government’s work with the G7, G20, the European Union, other countries and international organisations to advocate for increased and sustained AMR R&amp;D funding. The UK’s £50 million Global AMR Innovation Fund has been established and aims to focus on global R&amp;D priorities, providing access to finance for those who struggle to access traditional funding sources.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 16/11/2017 17:07:22 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price
