     This report was revised in March 2022 to reflect a clarification in metric 3, previously stated as “Pharmaceutical industry spend on research and development in the UK”. This has now been renamed to “Industry spend on pharmaceutical research and development in the UK”. This is to reflect that the figures includes spend on pharmaceutical research and development from all businesses and not just businesses in the pharmaceutical sector.
