Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether her Department has taken recent steps to commission research into (a) disease progression and (b) the intersection of comorbidities in the ageing population.

Answered by Andrew Stephenson - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care)

The Department commissions research through the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR), and research into Multiple Long-Term Conditions (MLTC) is a strategic priority for the NIHR. The NIHR funds significant research into disease progression and the intersection of comorbidities in older adults through its ongoing artificial intelligence for MLTC programme, that was established in 2021.

Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what assessment he has made of the potential of New Approach Methodologies to progress research into (a) Alzheimer’s disease and (b) Parkinson’s disease.

Answered by George Freeman

The Government actively supports and funds the development and dissemination of non-animal technologies. This is achieved primarily through funding from UKRI for the National Centre for the 3Rs (NC3Rs), which works nationally and internationally to drive the uptake of approaches that replace, reduce and refine the use of animals in research.

Since the NC3Rs was launched in 2004 it has committed £49.2M for research and innovation in non-animal technologies. This includes a recent £4.7M commitment to accelerate the use of non-animal technologies, with £3.7M invested through a joint UKRI-BBSRC and NC3Rs call and an additional £1M committed by UKRI for the development of non-animal technologies to support ageing research.
