Still time to submit to our inquiry on Innovation in the NHS:

On Tuesday, the Committee held an evidence session with the DSIT Secretary of State, Liz Kendall. At the end of a session with a heavy focus on how AI would transform the future of work, our Chair had one final question - does the Secretary of State use AI in her own work?

👉🏾Bleeding to death 👉🏾Stuck in a doom loop 👉🏾At risk of becoming an incubator economy Headlines from recent @LordsSTCom report on the UK start-up scene and we recommended a few things including simplifying investment by pooling gov funders. So, what does the government think?

A full list of the questions we'll be exploring is available via our call for evidence: committees.parliament.uk/work/9659/inno…

Our inquiry will seek to use this as an example to explore a broader question: why does the NHS adoption of the UK’s cutting-edge life sciences innovations often fail, and what could be done to fix it?

New inquiry! Innovation in the NHS: personalised medicine and AI We want to hear from you, submissions open until 20 April: committees.parliament.uk/call-for-evide…

Collapsing forensic science system is a national scandal in the making, Lords warn committees.parliament.uk/committee/193/…

80% of external forensic services now sit with one provider. Lords warn the system is dysfunctional, fragile and risking future scandal. Is reform overdue? Details: solicitornews.co.uk/lords-warn-for… #ForensicScience #LegalSector #PublicPolicy

Miscarriages of justice are inevitable without urgent and ‘long overdue’ reforms to forensic science according to a House of Lords inquiry. Today peers have urged the government to rectify a 'shocking abdication of responsibility' for critical forensics thejusticegap.com/peers-warn-mis…

As a member of the @LordsSTCom - I will add that the evidence we heard was clear that it is critical for our justice system that forensic science & digital forensic services are better managed, resourced, led and funded…
