The Government, the World Health Organisation and a number of the witnesses we heard from have highlighted the importance of a “One Health” approach to tackling AMR across sectors including human and animal health, the food supply chain, and the environment. The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) and others told us that phages could play an important role in delivering this approach. However, the DHSC acknowledged that they were at an early stage of tracking progress on phages. We believe it is important that—if phages are to play a meaningful part in a ‘One Health’ approach to tackling AMR—progress is reported in a timely and comprehensive manner. We recommend that the DHSC, as the lead department on AMR, reports annually on the progress made on evaluating and developing all phage- related technologies and therapies that affect human, animal or environmental health (referred to as the ‘One Health’ approach). This should be a joined-up assessment bringing together analyses and data from all relevant departments, regulators, public bodies and funders who are in receipt of public funding for work on phages.
