Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to recommendation 4 of the UK framework for mental health research, whether the recommended portfolio review of UK mental health research funders has been published.
The 2018 Framework for Mental Health Research recommended a portfolio review of United Kingdom mental health research funders, including the Medical Research Council and the National Institute for Health Research. MQ has subsequently led on a second portfolio review of UK mental health research funders in 2019, building on previous work. The report, ‘UK Mental Health Research Funding 2014-2017’, was published in 2019 by MQ.
