Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, when her Department’s plans for its 2022-23 funding of research and development into (a) malaria, (b) tuberculosis and (c) HIV/Aids will be published.

Global health remains a priority for UK Official Development Assistance. Our research plans are consistent with the two FCDO position papers published in December 2021 on strengthening health systems and ending preventable deaths of mothers, babies and newborns.

FCDO does not routinely announce spending plans for research on specific diseases such as malaria, tuberculosis or HIV/AIDS. However, we do publish details of our research investments as they occur, including in each of these disease areas, at https://devtracker.fcdo.gov.uk/search.

Details of our annual expenditure on malaria, tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS is published via the G-FINDER neglected diseases report https://gfinderdata.policycuresresearch.org/.
