answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/10/2021 answer text <p>The Departmental National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) is the largest funder of mental health research in the United Kingdom. We are increasing year on year spend in mental health research and invested £93 million in 2019/2020. The NIHR welcomes funding applications for research into any aspect of human health, including mental health. Applications are subject to peer review and judged in open competition, with awards being made based on the importance of the topic to patients and health and care services, value for money and scientific quality. As is common with other research funders, it is not usual practice for the NIHR to ring-fence a proportion of its budget for research into particular topics or conditions. The following table shows the NIHR’s spend on mental health research in each year from 2015-16.

tabling member constituency	East Ham
tabling member printed	Stephen Timms
uin	51576
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/09/2021 answer text <p>The National Health Service is a residency-based healthcare system, meaning that people who do not live here on a lawful, settled basis must contribute to the cost of their care, regardless of individual tax status. All temporary migrants of more than six months are subject to the Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS) at the point of visa application. This allows them to access NHS services without further charge while they are here with some exceptions. The IHS ensures that individuals do not face unexpected treatment bills and reduces the administrative burden on frontline staff of identifying chargeable patients and recovering charges.</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 24/09/2021 11:38:01 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar previous answer version 23476 answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar
