Ministers believe tackling the key challenges facing the NHS could save the health service and the economy billions, with obesity alone estimated to cost £6.1bn a year.
Prof Strain said the government needs to invest more in the NHS"here and now" - saying the extra £3.3bn of funding announced in the autumn statement was an"effective pay cut to the health service's budget".
Mr Sunak, Health Secretary Steve Barclay and Business Secretary Grant Shapps will meet NHS leaders, global chief executives and key industry figures on Monday. The government hopes to follow the vaccine approach with its"missions" by harnessing the best research expertise, removing unwarranted bureaucracy and strengthening partnerships with businesses.Research into mental health will get £40.2m, addiction £30.5m, cancer £22.5m and obesity £20m.
Shadow health secretary Wes Streeting said:"It is welcome that NHS and life sciences leaders are being brought in to help fix the mess the Conservatives have made."Nurse tells Sky why she's striking
