answer text <p>Data on the total spent by Government on providing medical treatment, social support and financial assistance for people with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, Parkinson’s or other related conditions is not collected or reported centrally.</p><p>In the <em>Challenge on Dementia 2020</em>, the Government committed to double spending on dementia research to £300 million between 2015 and 2020. This is equivalent to around £60 million per annum and we are on track to meet this pledge. In 2017/18 the Government spent £82.5 million on dementia research. Much of the investment is for research to better understand the nature of dementia, to inform development of future treatments and find ways to prevent the onset of the condition.</p><p>The following table shows Government spending on dementia research through the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), Medical Research Council (MRC) and Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC).</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>£000s</p></td><td><p>NIHR</p></td><td><p>MRC</p></td><td><p>ESRC</p></td><td><p>Total</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2009-10</p></td><td><p>12,678</p></td><td><p>14,800</p></td><td><p>800</p></td><td><p>28,245</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2010-11</p></td><td><p>18,612</p></td><td><p>16,800</p></td><td><p>1,400</p></td><td><p>36,456</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011-12</p></td><td><p>25,087</p></td><td><p>17,700</p></td><td><p>1,200</p></td><td><p>43,769</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012-13</p></td><td><p>25,556</p></td><td><p>25,300</p></td><td><p>2,500</p></td><td><p>52,249</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013-14</p></td><td><p>27,175</p></td><td><p>32,553</p></td><td><p>2,303</p></td><td><p>60,187</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014-15</p></td><td><p>31,483</p></td><td><p>23,968</p></td><td><p>3,333</p></td><td><p>58,373</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2015-16</p></td><td><p>37,622</p></td><td><p>56,753</p></td><td><p>2,961</p></td><td><p>96,396</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2016-17</p></td><td><p>44,623</p></td><td><p>36,000</p></td><td><p>2,490</p></td><td><p>83,113</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017-18</p></td><td><p>42,987</p></td><td><p>36,300</p></td><td><p>3,241</p></td><td><p>82,528</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p>
