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.<\/p>
