The United Kingdom has the largest life sciences sector in Europe.
The life sciences sector produced COVID-19 vaccines which saved the live of six million and treatment which saved a further million.[1]
The treasury says “[Life sciences] helps grow our economy, while also boosting jobs and opportunities for people across the United Kingdom.”
Leading in sectors compared to the rest of the continent is vital for the UK to restart economic growth, and this is something the Conservatives will use to their advantage in the next General Election.
