Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Lord Bellingham (Conservative). It was answered on Tuesday, 23 June 2009 on behalf of the Department of Health.
Rheumatoid Arthritis (Prescription Charges)
- Question
- Can the Minister tell the House how much his Department is spending on research? I have a number of constituents who suffer from this appalling ailment, and they tell me that, as well as exemption from prescription charges, their big priority is more research into this debilitating disease. Can the Minister tell the House the exact figures?
- Answer
-
It will not surprise the hon. Gentleman to learn that, off the top of my head, I cannot tell him the exact figures for research, but I can tell him that a considerable amount of research is going on in this important area. We want to ensure that we get the drugs that will enable people to be assisted.
