Written Question
Mental Health: Research
Thursday 7th June 2018

Asked by: Norman Lamb (Liberal Democrat - North Norfolk)

Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, pursuant to the Answer of 23 April 2018 to Question 136508, what proportion of the Medical Research Council's budget was spent on mental health research in 2017-18.

Answered by Sam Gyimah

Information on the Medical Research Council’s (MRC) spend on research relating directly to mental health and total research spend for 2017/18 will be made available once the MRC’s Annual Report and Accounts are laid before Parliament. We would expect the data to be available by the end of the Summer.
