Director of new £100 million Pandemic Sciences Institute says government rhetoric does not match investment
The director of a new £100 million multidisciplinary institute aimed at tackling future outbreaks of infectious diseases has urged the government to invest more in pandemic preparedness.
Peter Horby said there had been “a lot of political rhetoric around preventing another Covid-19-style pandemic…but what we haven’t yet seen is the investment to back that rhetoric up. There needs to be that investment.”
