Patient Data: Research
My Lords, after listening to the last debate, I am tempted to speak only about how health research data might help economic growth to alleviate all the debt that we were talking about, but I will not. I thank the noble Baroness, Lady Merron, for taking t

Artificial Intelligence: Vaccine Technology
My Lords, the development of Evo 2—which is an AI biological model with 9.3 trillion nucleotides extending over 128,000 different species, including humans—means that there is now a capability to produce proteins, molecular structures and even genomes, a

Higher Education: Affordability and Quality
My Lords, if the right reverend Prelate the Bishop of Leicester’s speech was inflammatory, mine is burned—so I am starting afresh, ad-libbing. I congratulate the noble Baroness, Lady Deech, on securing this debate. It is not an easy task to win a ballot

Resistant Hypertension
My Lords, I will refine the previous questions. Resistant hypertension occurs when the blood pressure does not respond to standard treatment of two, three or even four drugs—hence we call it resistant hypertension. The reason why the renal system is invo

NHS: Dementia Treatment Trials
My Lords, if our intention is to increase the diagnosis rate of early dementia, normally what we would do is to find a screening test that would identify people at risk of any disease. There is one called Mini-Cog; it takes three minutes to administer an

Prostate Cancer Screening: AI
My Lords, several trials are assessing the use of AI for prostate cancer screening and diagnostics, as well as testing the accuracy of digital imaging and histological imaging of biopsies to understand better the progression of disease. Some of them are

My Lords, we lead in genomic science and infrastructure by having established seven hubs for genomic testing. Despite this, we fall behind in testing for liquid biopsies of DNA and for circulating DNA, in histology testing, in molecular testing of cancer
I suggest that the Minister looks again at the evidence produced recently by Novo Nordisk, the manufacturer of Wegovy drugs for obesity reduction, to see whether what was just said still applies in the new study.

Women’s Health Strategy
