Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how much the Health Research Authority spent on equality and diversity training in the 2022-23 financial year.

The Health Research Authority (HRA) has had no expenditure on Equality and Diversity Training in the 2022/23 financial year. All HRA staff, however, are required to complete a mandatory training course on Equality and Diversity every three years which is an online compliance module via the HRA Electronic Record. HRA staff also have regular opportunities to have their voices heard, through ‘Staff Voices’ representatives and EDI staff-led interest groups.
