Quick adoption of new diagnostic tests could help NHS to save nearly £7 billion

Research commissioned by Innovate UK and the British In Vitro Diagnostics Association reveals that the NHS could save over £6.9 billion in five years through quick adoption of new diagnostic tests as they come onto the market. In turn, these savings could help tackle the annual NHS shortfall, widely expected to reach £20 billion by 2022.
