Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what discussions she has had with the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care on research funding for the Lobular Breast Cancer Moonshot Project.

Funding is available through the Medical Research Council (MRC) and National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR). Ministers Vallance and Hodgson have worked together to ensure the Government has a well-reasoned approach to this topic.

Lord Vallance, alongside senior officials from the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) and MRC, continues to engage scientific and industry leaders to understand challenges and opportunities in lobular breast cancer research to inform future policy.
