PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Endometriosis: Research (15 October 2021)

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how much funding his Department is providing to research into endometriosis diagnosis and treatment in (a) 2021-22 and (b) each of the next three financial years.

Asked by:
Marsha De Cordova (Labour)

The Department’s National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) has invested £8.4 million into diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis since 2013. While it is not usual practice to ring-fence funds for particular topics or conditions, including for future financial years, the NIHR’s funding is available through open competition for research into endometriosis diagnosis and treatment and we encourage researchers to submit applications in these areas.
