Medical charities have expressed dismay at the UK government’s failure to act over hundreds of millions of pounds of research that is at risk because of the catastrophic impact of Covid on fundraising.
With charity shops closed and fundraising events cancelled, medical charities have been forced to cut more than 40% of their research spending in the past year, and have told institutions that more cuts will follow.
In an 11th hour deal last week, the government announced £250m to help pay for the UK’s association with Horizon Europe, an international, seven-year research programme. But leading scientific institutions still face cuts of more than 20% because of the collapse in medical charity funding.
