Pancreatic Cancer

(asked on 7th October 2016) - View Source

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what funding his Department has provided for research on pancreatic cancer in each of the last three years.


This question was answered on 13th October 2016

The information requested is not available. Spend on research funded directly by the Department’s National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) is categorised by Health Research Classification System (HRCS) health categories including ‘cancer’. There are no HRCS health sub-categories, such as for pancreatic cancer or other cancer sites.

Investment in cancer research by the NIHR has risen from £101 million in 2010/11 to £135 million in 2014/15 (the latest available figure). The NIHR works closely with patients, charities and our world-leading life sciences industry to support further research into pancreatic cancer.
