Government to fund blood test that detects 12 cancers

It is one of a series of medical tech investments totalling £148m from the government – other projects include AI diagnoses and personalised immunotherapy treatments. According to the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT), research hubs will also be created at universities across the country.

Writing in The Sunday Mirror, Mr Streeting said that the investments will “help partner our universities, health service, and pharmaceutical giants to produce new cutting-edge treatments”.
