Lord Kakkar (CB)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 22 July 2025

Debate

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy: Givinostat

Contribution

I draw the House’s attention to my registered interest as chairman of King’s Health Partners. The 10-year plan recently published by His Majesty’s Government, with regard to the future of the NHS, puts at its very centre the adoption of innovation at scale and pace to transform the health service and secure its sustainability. What arrangements are in place, and what assessment is being made of those mechanisms? In particular, do His Majesty’s Government have a view about advancing the opportunity for early adoption of innovation in such a way that the kinds of problems we have heard about in this short Question are not repeated on several occasions, and the ambition to transform the health service with innovation is not frustrated?
