	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/11/2017 answer text <p>The Department’s National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) welcomes funding applications for research into any aspect of human health, including diabetes and dementia; it is not usual practice to ring-fence funds for particular topics or conditions. Applications are subject to peer review and judged in open competition, with awards being made on the basis of the importance of the topic to patients and health and care services, value for money and scientific quality. In all disease areas, the amount of NIHR funding depends on the volume and quality of scientific activity.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 24/11/2017 12:38:40 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price

Friend, the Secretary of State for Health set the National Health Service a challenge to increase the number of patients registered for access to GP records fivefold by March 2019. NHS England is working with the Royal College of General Practitioners and patient groups to develop support for GP practices to actively offer and promote this service to patients living with long term conditions such as diabetes or asthma, as these groups would benefit the most from regularly accessing and reviewing information held in their records.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 01/12/2017 12:56:31 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price
