answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/03/2024 answer text <p>The Government funds research on thyroid disorders via the Department through the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR). The NIHR funds and supports research into thyroid disorders through its research infrastructure, namely facilities, services and research workforce, and its research programmes. This includes research on the broad range of conditions that may affect the function of the thyroid gland, including hypo- and hyper-thyroidism, thyroid cancer and thyroid removal following surgery.</p><p>An example of NIHR research is a study investigating the risks of developing obesity, cardio-metabolic conditions, and risk of death in a cohort of 25,000 newly diagnosed patients with hyperthyroidism, and to compare the risks of these outcomes between all three modalities used to treat hyperthyroidism.</p><p>The NIHR welcomes funding applications for research into any aspect of human health including thyroid disorders and 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. It is not usual practice for the NIHR to ring fence funds for particular topics or conditions.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 04/03/2024 15:59:16 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/03/2024 answer text <p>We hugely value and appreciate the vital work carried out by general practice (GP) nurses. The Government accepted the Doctors’ and Dentists’ Review Body’s recommendation on salaried GP staff pay, and increased the 2023/24 GP contract to provide funding for them to receive a 6% pay rise. We expect all practices to pass this on to staff. As self-employed contractors to the National Health Service, it is for GPs to determine employee pay.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 04/03/2024 13:54:31 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom
