Health written question – answered at on 21 July 2009.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health what plans he has for the future level of funding for dementia research; and what matters relating to such funding will be discussed at the forthcoming research summit held with the Medical Research Council.
The dementia research summit to be held on
The usual practice of the Department's National Institute for Health Research and of the Medical Research Council is not to ring-fence funds for expenditure on particular topics: research proposals in all areas compete for the funding available. Future levels of expenditure on dementia research will be determined by the success of relevant bids for funding.
