Neuroblastoma: Research

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how much funding his Department has allocated for research into treatment of neuroblastoma in each of the last 10 years; and if he will make a statement.

Answer

A table is attached showing the research funding into treatment of neuroblastoma.

The National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) is also supporting delivery in the health and care system of neuroblastoma research, funded by research funding partners in the charity and public sectors. For example, over the last 10 years, the NIHR Clinical Research Network has supported approximately 27 neuroblastoma related studies.

The NIHR welcomes funding applications for research into any aspect of human health, including neuroblastoma. As with other Government funders of health research, the NIHR does not allocate funding for specific disease areas. The level of research spend in a particular area, is driven by factors including scientific potential and the number and scale of successful funding applications.
