Recommendation 11

Deferred
Paragraph: 68
Require DHSC to respond to phage network proposals and outline plans for knowledge sharing
Recommendation
We recommend that the Department for Health and Social Care responds to the UK’s Phage Knowledge Transfer Network’s proposals within six months of their publication. The Department should set out how it will help develop a network for phage-related knowledge sharing and assets such as biobanks. The Department should also indicate how phage-related research and development across different sectors might be joined up as part of its overarching ‘One Health’ approach to tackling AMR.
Government Response Summary
The government states it has committed to establishing general clinical trial acceleration networks with funding, but does not specifically address responding to the Phage Knowledge Transfer Network's proposals or developing a phage-specific knowledge sharing network or biobanks.
