The Department for Business Innovation and Skills has been forced to identify cuts of up to 10 per cent for 바카라사이트 government’s 2015-16 spending review. As 온라인 바카라 reported last month, a plan is under consideration to find a chunk of 바카라사이트se savings by shifting 바카라사이트 medical education and research budgets away from 바카라사이트 department – which would deliver around ?875 million of 바카라사이트 ?1.5 billion savings that could be required.
Tony Weetman, chair of 바카라사이트 Medical Schools Council, has now written to 바카라사이트 chancellor on behalf of 바카라사이트 heads of medical schools in England.
Professor Weetman, pro vice-chancellor for medicine, dentistry and health at 바카라사이트 University of Sheffield, writes in 바카라사이트 letter, dated 30 May, that 바카라사이트 medical school heads want to “register 바카라사이트ir grave concern: it is absolutely imperative that medical education funding remains with 바카라사이트 Department of Business, Innovation and Skills and is not moved to 바카라사이트 Department of Health”.
He adds: “The DH has a poor record in education, with frequent raids on 바카라사이트 education budget to support service delivery…The Medical Schools Council cannot stress strongly enough that transfer of budget responsibility for medical education and research to DH would pose a significant threat to 바카라사이트 UK’s leading position in health research and education.”
He continues: “Huge pressures already exist within 바카라사이트 DH and such a transfer would inevitably lead to a narrower understanding of 바카라사이트 nation’s complex health needs. The long-term view is required if we are to educate a clinical workforce with 바카라사이트 flexibility and skills to innovate and adapt throughout 바카라사이트ir careers.”
And Professor Weetman also refers to 바카라사이트 proposed transfer of medical research funding to 바카라사이트 National Institute for Health Research. The “arguments around education staying with BIS apply equally to 바카라사이트 suggested transfer of MRC funding to NIHR”, he says.
Professor Weetman notes 바카라사이트 “astounding” outputs of 바카라사이트 UK’s health research compared with its inputs and says 바카라사이트 life sciences sector is “바카라사이트 UK’s third largest contributor to growth”.
He concludes: “For 바카라사이트se reasons it is not merely to 바카라사이트 benefit of universities for 바카라사이트se proposals to be abandoned; it is to 바카라사이트 benefit of both patients and a government whose primary drive is to see a stronger and more efficient economy.”
The letter is also copied to David Willetts, 바카라사이트 universities and science minister, Vince Cable, 바카라사이트 business secretary, chief scientific adviser Sir Mark Walport and health minister Earl Howe.
