Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of diabetes research funding capacity.
There has been no specific assessment of diabetes research funding capacity. The Department commissions research through the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR). The NIHR welcomes funding applications for research into any aspect of human health, including diabetes. In the 2024/25 financial year, the NIHR invested £33 million in direct research funding on diabetes.
