New investment in NHS health research announced

The government has announced that an additional 816 million pounds in NHS research is to be made available over the next five years.

Leading NHS clinicians and universities will benefit from the creation of new world-class facilities and support services thanks to this funding package, which is described as the largest ever investment into health research.

Mental health research will see funding increase to nearly 70 million pounds, with dementia receiving more than 45 million pounds, deafness and hearing problems granted in excess of 15 million pounds and antimicrobial resistance research funding rising to around 45 million pounds.

A total of 20 NHS and university partnerships across England will be granted funding through the National Institute for Health Research, with each centre to host the development of new treatments, diagnostic tools, prevention methods and care models.

Health secretary Jeremy Hunt said: "We are supporting the great minds of the NHS to push the frontiers of medical science, so that patients in this country continue to benefit from the very latest treatments and the highest standards of care."
