Thanks for the reminder! I responded today and have the same view. It seems to want to concentrate research in fewer centres, rather than what I'd prefer which is to make a culture of enquiry more part of the culture of the health (and related) services. It also seems to emphasise medical research. I thought there were some useful ideas like simplifying the bureaucracy of ethical approval.
