This recommendation scores very strong in leveraging cross-sector inputs (D3).

RECOMMENDATION SUMMARY
“We recommend that the Chief Medical Officer is given responsibility for overseeing the coordination of ageing research between UK Research and innovation and the National Institute for Health Research. (Paragraph 181)”
