Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps her Department is taking to ensure that funding decisions for brain tumour research reflect the prevalence and clinical impact of low-grade glioma.

Some of the data requested by the Hon. Member is not centrally held, but on the wider issues raised, I refer him to the answer provided on 3 March in response to Question 115098. Available data on this issue is also published by the National Institute for Health and Care Research at the following link:
