Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the press release published 14 December 2022 on global science partnership with Japan, whether it is still the Government’s policy to double dementia research; and whether the funds in that announcement are contributing to that pledge.
This question was answered on 20th December 2022
In 2019, we committed to double funding for dementia research. We will double funding for dementia research to £160 million a year by 2024/25. United Kingdom researchers on dementia funded via the global science partnership with Japan will be included in this commitment.
