Motion Text

That this House congratulates Queen's University Belfast on its research and development of a new drug to tackle blood poisoning and organ damage, a disease that claims 37,000 lives in Great Britain and Northern Ireland and costs the NHS £2.5 billion annually; and asks the Department of Health to collaborate with that university on its phenomenal research and development.
