The following table shows estimated expenditure on research on asthma, motor neurone disease (MND) and osteoporosis by the Medical Research Council, other Research Councils and Innovate UK, and by the National Institute for Health (NIHR) through its research programmes, research centres and units, and research fellowships. £ million <table><tbody><tr><td> </td><td>2009-10</td><td>2010-11</td><td>2011-12</td><td>2012-13</td><td>2013-14</td></tr><tr><td colspan="6">Asthma</td></tr><tr><td>Medical Research Council</td><td><del class="ministerial">22.2 </del><ins class="ministerial">6.6</ins></td><td><del class="ministerial">17.5 </del><ins class="ministerial">5.3</ins></td><td><del class="ministerial">17.2</del><ins class="ministerial"> 4.5</ins></td><td><del class="ministerial">19.4</del><ins class="ministerial"> 3.6</ins></td><td><del class="ministerial">18.8</del><ins class="ministerial"> 5.4</ins></td></tr><tr><td>Other Research Councils and Innovate UK</td><td>0.0</td><td>0.1</td><td>0.3</td><td>1.5</td><td>0.8</td></tr><tr><td>National Institute for Health Research</td><td>2.6</td><td>3.4</td><td>2.4</td><td>3.4</td><td>3.8</td></tr><tr><td>Total</td><td><del class="ministerial">24.8</del><ins class="ministerial"> 9.2</ins></td><td><del class="ministerial">21.0</del><ins class="ministerial"> 8.8</ins></td><td><del class="ministerial">19.9</del><ins class="ministerial"> 7.2</ins></td><td><del class="ministerial">24.3 </del><ins class="ministerial">8.5</ins></td><td><del class="ministerial">23.4</del> <ins class="ministerial">10.0</ins></td></tr><tr><td colspan="6">Motor Neurone Research</td></tr><tr><td>Medical Research Council</td><td>7.0</td><td>7.5</td><td>4.2</td><td>4.1</td><td>3.6</td></tr><tr><td>Other Research Councils and Innovate UK</td><td>0.2</td><td>0.2</td><td>0.4</td><td>0.7</td><td>1.0</td></tr><tr><td>National Institute for Health Research</td><td>0.1</td><td>0.1</td><td>0.4</td><td>0.7</td><td>0.5</td></tr><tr><td>Total</td><td>7.3</td><td>7.8</td><td>5.0</td><td>5.5</td><td>5.1</td></tr><tr><td colspan="6">Osteoporosis</td></tr><tr><td>Medical Research Council</td><td>6.2</td><td>5.4</td><td>5.1</td><td>4.6</td><td>5.9</td></tr><tr><td>Other Research Councils and Innovate UK</td><td>0.0</td><td>0.0</td><td>0.1</td><td>0.4</td><td>1.0</td></tr><tr><td>National Institute for Health Research</td><td>0.3</td><td>0.7</td><td>0.8</td><td>1.3</td><td>1.8</td></tr><tr><td>Total</td><td>6.5</td><td>6.1</td><td>6.0</td><td>6.3</td><td>8.7</td></tr></tbody></table> The figures shown for asthma exclude research into air pollution and potential effects on health outcomes including asthma. Total spend by the NIHR on asthma, MND and osteoporosis is higher than the figures shown because expenditure by the NIHR Clinical Research Network (CRN) on these diseases cannot be disaggregated from total CRN expenditure. NIHR expenditure relating to development of new drugs for asthma, MND and osteroporosis occurs primarily through NIHR research infrastructure including the CRN and cannot be disaggregated from total expenditure. Information on MRC expenditure into the development of new drugs for asthma, MND or osteoporosis is not available.

We have made no such assessment. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) is responsible for providing guidance to the National Health Service on the clinical and cost effectiveness of selected drugs and indications through its technology appraisal programme. NICE has published several pieces of technology appraisal guidance covering a number of different technologies for use in the treatment of adults and children with asthma. Further information is available on NICE’s website at: <a href="http://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/conditions-and-diseases/respiratory-conditions/asthma" target="_blank">www.nice.org.uk/guidance/conditions-and-diseases/respiratory-conditions/asthma</a>
