To ask His Majesty's Government what process is in place for the monitoring of research and development work identified and included within the section 22 annual Report on research and development work under the Chronically Sick and Disabled Act 1970.
I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave on 30 June 2026 to Questions 1004.
The report Research and development work relating to assistive technology: 2024 to 2025 is updated annually to cover developments in priority setting and funding, current and planned funding schemes, and national action plans or service changes to improve the use of assistive technology.
The Department invests significantly in research through the National Institute for Health and Care Research, the Department's research operational arm. The latest report, covering the period from 1 June 2024 to 31 May 2025, has been produced by the National Institute for Health and Care Research under the direction of the Department.
