The Small Business Research Initiative (SBRI) Healthcare has been the remit of NHS England since 2013 and the budget for SBRI Healthcare for the financial years since 2013/14 is shown in the following table. Records of the budgets prior to the programme being owned by NHS England are not held.

2013/14

2014/15

2015/16

2016/17

2017/18

2018/19

2019/20

£10 million

£20 million

£20 million

£12.9 million

£12.9 million

£17.9 million

£5.2 million

Note:

The figures relate to SBRI Healthcare and not SBRI budgets for other programmes. The difference in funding between 2018/19 and 2019/20 is due to a change in suppliers for the programme’s Programme Management function. This means extra funding was provided in 2018/19 to prepare for transition between suppliers, and a reduction in 2019/20 until the new supplier is fully established.
