Alzheimer's Disease
To ask Her Majesty's Government how much public money is spent annually on research into Alzheimer's disease; and what is their estimate of the amount spent on such research by commercial and charitable sources.

Since 2009-10, dementia research funded by Government through the National Institute for Health Research, the Medical Research Council and the Economic and Social Research Council has almost doubled, from £28.2 million to £52.2 million in 2012-13. Over the same period, funding by the charitable sector has increased, from £4.2 million to £6.8 million in the case of Alzheimer's Research UK and from £2 million to £5.3 million in the case of the Alzheimer's Society. Data on annual expenditure on dementia research by commercial sources are not available.

Shadow Deputy Leader of the House of Lords
