From The Guardian:
Medical research charities demanded government help to survive the recession, amid warnings that new treatments for serious illnesses could fall victim to their dwindling income.
…[A charity] urged ministers to extend the life of the charity research support fund, which helps cover the cost of the infrastructure at universities and hospitals needed to support research projects. The government puts £195m a year into it, but the scheme is due to expire in 2011.
What’s the point? Just give up on the whole private donations thing and become an arm of the state.
